You clearly told you are technology expert. HOW CAN YOU COMPARE A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE WITH A FRAMEWORK? 2. Doesn't matter whether to kill java or not. Rails is much powerful. Unless you know principles behind it clearly.(RAILS RUNS ONLY ON TRACKS) I did 6 realtime projects including 2 social networking and 2 ecommerce rest others. all were successful. (TWITTER.COM/ LINKED.COM/SCRIBD.COM/YELLOWPAGES) thats not a joke to use ruby on rails. 3. “programming in the large” in my view means uncontrollable , complicated., mostly failure. Unless if it has written tests properly. Ruby can do those things, Very clean, Test Driven Code,. 4. I think you dont know one thing? Microsoft and Java much worried about ruby and they started mending with jruby and iron ruby. 5. Ruby and ROR are becoming the MAC's/Linux's frontend programming and framworks. 6. From Rails 2.0 its ready for enterprise level. 7. I know ruby 1.8.6 is slower only on windows. Turn it on linux...its a killer. Take.ruby1.9... its own virtual machine.(YARV) see the performance. 8. People have general tendency towards only microsoft and sun. They need to comeout with that mentality., its like my religion is great. 9. Software Engineering principles, made programmers lazy. Agile makes programmers sharp, attentive, immediate problem solving, Future Driven Development, TDD, BDD and what not. 10. Microsoft and sun is for people who wear suits. Rails is for people who wear torn jeans . Shouting for good practices and striving for excellence at RAILS CONFERENCE. SEE YA AT RAILS CONFERENCE. 11. No hard Feelings, Very soon you are gonna see Ruby and ROR will be embedded in database itself. kidding? and why not. HAIL MOGAMBO ! EVIL STILL PERSISTS.

An entirely unique option in this category can be found here: http://www.simunication.com. Simunicator enables anyone with a web browser to connect, build, and distribute online, prototypes and simulations so everyone can test drive and validate applications before project signoff. Simunicator prototypes and simulations are driven from use cases injected with industry standard user interface and behavior that are later reusable in development. Complex AJAX, SOA, DHTML/DOM, Java Script and HTML applications can be simulated with Simunicator. I hope this information is helpul.
