Large development@Rails
With my recent Googling, I could crawl through few sites, blogs and data analytic graphs. I was shocked to know the jumping intercourse relation of web development with RoR, Specially on the blog http://www.railsonwave.com/ about the migration of site http://www.yellowpages.com/ from JAVA to Rails with so many positive results. I won’t make you to go through the blog and read each and every line unless you want…
Yes I am up with few highlights :
· Yellowpage has got 23 million visitors a month, this shows the Rails is fit for a large application in terms of performance.
· From 125.000 lines of code in Java, mainly written by external consultants from 2004 to 2005, to at least 20.000 lines of code in only 3 months of development from a team of 4 developers.
Sites those are developed in Rails and could be matter of a crown here, I would love to list few of them: (Yeah all of them has got 10+ million visitors@per month)

RailsConf is the official event for the growing Rails community.
Rank of programming languages & TIOBE
The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and YouTube are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.
The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can be found here
