MagLev, Ruby VM on Gemstone OODB, Wows RailsConf

Posted by kdawson on from the rails-oh-i-get-it dept.

murphee ends along a report from InfoQ: "Gemstone demoed [MagLev,] their Ruby VM built on their GemStone S64 VM, to an ecstatic audience. Gemstone's Smalltalk VM allows OODBs of up to 17 PetaBytes, with none of the old ActiveRecord nonsense: the data is persisted transparently. The Gemstone OODB also takes care of any distribution, allowing the Ruby VM and data to scale across many servers (Cheerio, memcached!). There's also an earlier quite technical interview with Gemstone's Bob Walker and Avi Bryant about MagLev."

    An audience that needs ...

    a) to buy some vowels, and
    b) to find significant others to get ecstatic about! ;)

    I am sorry to hear of murphee's death, and hope that no more lives are claimed by this report's incomprehensibility.

    Just yesterday I was working on SuperCollider, hooking it with OilRig, implemented with SuperTanker, using ConcreteRoad as the substrate. I had some problems with the DeepSea module, but it was really due to RadioAntenna. You're confused? These are just the names of some database libraries, nothing to do with what their names imply.
