One Small Step…

I just got a skeletal Ruby on Rails application running on a Java Virtual Machine using JRuby:

A picture of the Ruby on Rails welcome screen that shows the Ruby version as 1.8.5 (java)

—This is running on Windows XP which is running in a Parallels VM which is running on my Mac. To recap: it’s Ruby on Java on Windows on Mac OS X. Who could have predicted that a few years ago! Next steps: hook up a database and try to deploy a Rails application to a servlet engine. I think this could be very useful in future!

    Whoa! Slow down there John! With all those platforms in a Russian-doll-style I’ll need one hell of a bookcase full of technical books to keep up! ;)

    Ha ha! It is a bit of a mind-bender.
