It is not capable to replace JAVA and it's large base of libraries and open source system implementations. The existent Ruby tools cannot produce the defined stack, which essentially describes some form of an coherent open-source MDA (Model Driven Architecture) implementation. Ruby is for having fun - but not for producing serious large scale distributed applications. Otherwise the people here would have simply answered: welcome, pick this, this and this, add this and this and your stack is ready. " .. -- http://lazaridis.com
