Hi,
I am not a Ruby expert but have messed about it with it, and with RoR.
Ruby doesnt seem to be enterprise ready. There are sites like
Basecamp, etc., which handle an enterprise load, certainly. On the
other hand, there are Ruby libraries like rexml which simply don't
seem to perform.
e.g.
http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2004/10/28/ruby_performance
http://www.pragmatically.net/articles/2005/11/10/ruby-performance-
problems
The short of it - if I was producing a small to medium sized web
application, I'd consider using Ruby (mainly because I like it).
Anything else Id use Java.
IMO, Ruby is a more interesting than Java. Perhaps I say that because
Im bored with Java. Perhaps Ruby really is a better language for
programmers, as much of the hype insists on repeating.
Unfortunately, Ruby doesnt have the sort of backing to make it
compelling enough to use as an enterprise platform. Java has that,
along with a stable list of libraries.
On the other hand, Im not sure that RoR is that great ... I know I
prefer Webwork and Tapestry to RoR. RoR seems to be especially good
for quickly setting up things (i.e. scaffolding).

Hi All,
I got the question today...What is the difference between Tapestry
and Ruby (on Rails). I want some good reasons as to why Tapestry is
a superior choice. Please feel free to comment.
Thanks
