Gosh darn it! You beat me to it! I was going to try and get it running on
i5 first using JRuby using Tomcat as the servlet engine. Your port is more
"native" so I am intrigued by it!
Good work Pete!

Subject: Ruby on Rails on i
A while back I started a "pet" project to port Ruby to the PASE environment
on my lumbering model 270. It was rather in the same vein as running PHP on
the i : I don't immediately have a project requiring it but curiosity got
the best of me and I love a challenge so I went ahead and did it. I have
Ruby on Rails running on my 270. It IS SLOW so patience is currently
required. I am learning more about Rails and how to improve performance so
I still have a ways to go until we are ready to develop a "production" site
using Ruby.
It is a proof of concept site. It is completely running on the 270 in PASE.
Apache is doing a little traffic routing but the actual application is
running in PASE. If any of you are interested, take a look. It add yet
another technology to the System i's bag of tricks.
You can expect me to do a presentation on Ruby on Rails on i at next year's
Spring Common conference. This is fairly cool stuff.

so....Italian !)
