Subject
Ruby on Rails on i






A while back I started a "pet" project to port Ruby to the PASE 
environment on my lumbering model 270.  It was rather in the same vein 
as running PHP on the i : I don't immediately have a project requiring 
it but curiosity got the best of me and I love a challenge so I went 
ahead and did it.  I have Ruby on Rails running on my 270.  It IS SLOW 
so patience is currently required.  I am learning more about Rails and 
how to improve performance so I still have a ways to go until we are 
ready to develop a "production" site using Ruby. 

It is a proof of concept site.  It is completely running on the 270 in 
PASE.  Apache is doing a little traffic routing but the actual 
application is running in PASE.  If any of you are interested, take a 
look.  It add yet another technology to the System i's bag of tricks. 
You can expect me to do a presentation on Ruby on Rails on i at next 
year's Spring Common conference.  This is fairly cool stuff.
