Comments on: Ruby on Rails’ footprint on Microsoft http://techblog.41concepts.com/2007/12/21/ruby-on-rails-footprint-on-microsoft/ A software development blog from 41concepts Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:09:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Jeff http://techblog.41concepts.com/2007/12/21/ruby-on-rails-footprint-on-microsoft/#comment-81 Jeff Mon, 24 Dec 2007 01:34:56 +0000 http://techblog.41concepts.com/2007/12/21/ruby-on-rails-footprint-on-microsoft/#comment-81 Good post. Looks the "the Eye" is unfortunately not distracted anymore (http://www.softiesonrails.com/2006/6/25/frodo-enters-mordor-and-the-eye-should-be-very-worried). It will be eerie if/when IronRuby + MVC ASP.NET + Visual Studio = a new way to develop Ruby on Rails applications. With the new FCGI implementation now available for IIS, deployment may become easier on Windows as well. Good post.

If anything they're finally catching up with those projects. I think what C# lacks that makes RoR so compelling is Ruby's duck typing and simplicity. Also, they haven't yet released any sort of utilities like Rails' script helpers for creating MVC components.
