As Bob et al's work shows you can run Ruby on JBoss AS very well, making use of all those existing middleware services directly.<br /><br />VM based approaches seem to be the way forward (both for flexibility, but also for performance given some of the techniques hotspot uses nowadays) in general, so I would hope that PaaS will take advantage of this and offer multiple language platforms which run on top of the JVM allowing reuse of all the Java EE services available.Pete Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995266595006410308noreply@blogger.com
