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.
