Interesting Enterprise Ruby Announcement
So I thought it a bit odd to run into Roy, the founder of ThoughtWorks, upon my arrival to RailsConf today. I then get to the speakers lounge, register and find a two page spread announcing not only mingle but also the most interesting announcement of all:
Today ThoughtWorks Studios introduces the convenience, power and flexibility of Ruby / Ruby on Rails to Fortune 1000 companies.
RubyWorks is, what appears to be, ThoughtWorks supporting Ruby for the Enterprise. To say this is huge would be a drastic understatement. ThoughtWorks is releasing a production LAMP stack for Ruby on Rails that’s designed for both Red Hat Enterprise and CentOS (think free version of RedHat). According to their website, beginning in July they will begin offering 24×7 paid support. This is putting your money where your mouth is.
RubyWorks – a new products and support service for Ruby. Designed to help enterprises implement and use Ruby more effectively …
EdgeCase is pushing the meme of Enterprise Ruby with erubycon, and now ThoughtWorks is getting behind it with full support.
This is going to be a stellar year.
update: Edited to fix stupid grammar mistakes. Will stop blogging when jet-lagged.
