Have you actually got to production with your current project , or is it still under wraps? What tipped the scales for me to start getting into Ruby is that yourself and a couple of other good / heavyweight Enterprise Java guys are swearing by it. Paul John (W),

Mongrel is the solution. A cluster of mongrel's can work with a software (e.g apache ) or hardware load balancer ensuring a horizontally scalable solution. Line for line ruby is slower than java, however performance is more than language choice. Its also about design and development decisions. Rails provides separation of concerns as well as horizontal scaling baked in. Webrick is a development server and has never been proposed as a production solution.

I got the impression that the standard (Webbrick) server would fall over quite easily. Fortunately , they have a way of working with Apache, I haven't tested the scalability (yet) of that.

Seriously though - I read recently that the JRuby developers have managed to optimise JRuby (with JIT compiler I think) so that it's running at twice the speed of C Ruby. Although I don't think JRuby with compiler is released yet... Could well turn out that Java will be the platform for Ruby.. er Paul, isn’t that 3 reasons?

Not the intention to make it sound lightweight – more explaining the reasons why I’m interested in it.
