Ruby On Rails Showdown with Java Spring/Hibernate
Paradox writes "Java developer Justin Gehtland recently tried re-implementing one of his web applications in Ruby on Rails instead of his normal Java Spring/Hibernate setup. His analysis of overall performance and application size was startling, to say the least. The Java app's configuration alone was nearly the size of the entire Rails codebase, and Rails application was significantly (15%-30%) faster! At the same time, the Ruby community is abuzz because Ruby is getting a new optimized bytecode compiler for its upcoming 2.0 release. Will Ruby on Rails become even faster as a result?"
Nothing like fanning the flames of an already hot topic between J2EE & RoR developers.
Oh, I don't know! On the pro-Java forum theserverside.com, where this article has already been covered, they're pretty open to the Ruby-on-Rails community...

This is where the serious fun begins.
I have nothing to contribute to this discussion of RoR, but I have to complement you on your sig. Seeing "i.e." and "e.g." used interchangeably is almost as irritating as hearing people use "literally" as a meaningless intensifier, e.g. "She was so mad, she was literally on fire!"
