   Do you think Ruby, particularly RoR (Ruby on Rails) will be the new Java of the future?

2. fuzzylizard on October 28th, 2006

   That would largely depend on what you mean by “the new Java of the future”? Do you mean that RoR will take over the task of building large, enterprise mission critical applications that hundreds of thousand’s (or more) of people depend on every day for their lively hood: probably not.

   There are too many questions that still need to be answered regarding RoR and Ruby.

   However, I think RoR is quite capable of serving those applications that every enterprise relies on everyday. Those little apps–like scheduling vacation time, or staff listings–that every business needs.

   I am not exactly sure who it was who made the distinction, but I agree with it. Java programmers think of enterprise applications while RoR programmers think of applications for the enterprise. Businesses need both.
