The Revolution will not be Tweeted
summary
Claim: the Rails revolution moves underground into enterprises, not Twitter. Evidence: consultancies report rising enterprise projects, USDA and banks porting legacy apps, and real deployments where Ruby coordinates thousands of processes and even a 1 million line ruby script drives test harnesses. Pain points are operational: IT-controlled deployments, repeatability, auditing and monitoring, not changes to Rails. Practical opportunity is tooling: an enterprise-focused Rails IDE, deployment integrations (Heroku, internal clouds) and training to enable Lotus Notes → Rails migration at scale.
