… Now this might change, but we’re really hoping to claim full Rails support some time in February. We’re not sure if that will mean 90% of 1.1.6 test cases or 100% of 1.2 test cases, but we’re weighing options now…

Wha? I haven’t been following the project as closely as I'd like but for some reason I was thinking this was 6-9 months off.

While we're projecting, does anyone know where I can monitor the status of a released J2SE under the GPL?

How about someone throws out a rough guess for when we'll see Rails running on a GPL'd JVM? March? July? 2009? Anyone?

  1. Good lord, 6-9 months? In 6-9 months we'll be able to ahead-of-time compile Rails apps to Java bytecode, zip them up into a WAR file, and deploy them across 100-server clusters using your app server of choice.

    Seriously though, Rails runs now…and what doesn’t work is almost all related to either marshaling or minor core class bugs. We're not that far off..it’s just a matter of really putting in the time to find and fix the remaining bugs.

  2. I've never been so happy to be clueless :)
