After ten years, will Ruby and Ajax be integrated?

Last year, the two most popular technologies were integrated: Ajax and Ruby on Rails. They became the focus of discussion at the serverside Java seminar in Las Vegas last weekend. In fact, you can say Ruby and Ajax have been officially launched.

However, it seems impossible to integrate Ajax and Ruby. In the Java field, some critics believe that JavaScript should be retained as Ajax Application Handling heavyweight scripts, they do not want to integrate Ruby.

Bruce Tate stands for this type of suspicion. He is an independent software from Austin, Texas. Consultation Teacher. He believes that Java has become so complex that it has become an obstacle for programmers to use. He thinks Ruby is easier to learn and more friendly to programmers.

He made a report entitled "Beyond Java: technologies to watch" at the seminar. He believes that Java has problems at the low end. He believes that the Java language has become increasingly complex in the past 10 years. This makes it very difficult for computer science students or experienced programmers to transfer from languages such as COBOL.

He said: "Java is no longer so easy to access ."

For projects like building a front-end web for a database application, he thinks Ruby will be a good choice. He said: "with Ruby, you are not fast and messy, but fast and neat. The ruby programming language is indeed a very Successful ."

He told many Java programmers: "Ruby's strength lies in its object-oriented nature, which is neat and adaptable ."

However, when introducing Ruby's history, Tate said that this language has been in use in Japan for nearly ten years, his inventor yukihiro's home is in Matsumoto.

Relevance Company Consultant Justin gehtland spoke at two seminars on Ruby on Rails. He said: "Rails is a killer application, which keeps rails spreading among programmers ."

In the discussion entitled "Building Quality applications with Ajax frameworks", gehtland also recommends that programmers look at other open-source frameworks of Ajax applications. He said that prototype JavaScript framework is designed to provide JavaScript, which is more like developing Ajax. Applications Something similar to Ruby. Together with the script Work The prototype of has been implemented in scriptaculous. It is another resource recommended by gehtland. He pointed out that prototype and scriptaculous were both invented by the inventor of Ruby.

It is not clear whether Ruby on Rails will be integrated into a development language of Ajax applications.

In discussions with gehtland, adigio's CTO Dion almaer said that Sun Microsystems's Java One will announce in May that JavaServer fraces will support Ajax. He said this would greatly simplify Ajax development.

Almaer predicts that two years later, people will be able to develop Ajax without having to know about Ajax.
