Why isn't Rails adopted by the enterprise?

in: reddevnews

Obie Fernandez, an independent consultant specializing in the marketing and development of large-scale Web-based applications, and the editor of the Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series, argues:

I think there are many types of apps where Rails would not be your first choice as your main development environment, things like financial apps with large, complex domain models, for example. <update>And yet, if I were a practical enterprise architect, I would permit my Web group to work in Rails and consume other parts of my system that were written in harder languages by Web services.</update>


<update>
Obie correctly notice his quote wasn't complete. Now it is. Sorry about that, Obie :)

You forgot the rest of my quote.

"And yet, if I were a practical enterprise architect, I would permit my Web group to work in Rails and consume other parts of my system that were written in harder languages by Web services."

We're absolutely right, sorry. I'll correct it on the article too.
