James Governor spotted something interesting about Ruby - IBM may be paying attention:

IF IBM is hiring Ruby skills then Ruby is enterprise. That may seem like circular logic, but the reality is that IBM, more than any other individual or organisation, still defines what is and what is not "enterprise". If IBM is investing in an area, you can be pretty sure its going to be used in enterprise contexts.

I guess it'll be all enterprisey after this, as James says. Watch for violent head spins here.

There's some irony here too. If IBM is getting interested in Ruby, the spinning out of VAST last year could be considered a blunder. They could easily have taken Avi's advice. Yes, we could take that advice as well. We have a trifle fewer resources on hand than IBM though :)
