From: Mike Thomas Date: 2001-12-21T04:49:32+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:29164] Production, Significant Uses of Ruby All, I've been reading up on Ruby for a while (and have played with CGI, DBI, etc.). I know people are using it for some interesting purposes (Dave and Andy purport to have production systems running in Ruby (right?)). I think it would be very interesting to see what production (or mission-critical, even) uses Ruby has been put to. Are there any "real" (your definition is fine :-) ) business applications in use that were developed in Ruby? Serving a dynamic website counts, IMO, so let's hear about those, too. My personal plan is to publish my website journal using Ruby, using text files for the journal entries (using a DB is just too much 'overhead' right now), rather than continuing to use Blogger (they're SO slow, and it's unsecure). I don't consider this a 'production' use, even by my own rules, I guess, because it's not a dynamic, code-intensive use. Anyway, inspire us with your cool Ruby applications! ===== --------------------- Mike Thomas http://www.samoht.com It's better backwards --------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
