Journal izzo nizzo's Journal: where will rails fit in the apple stack

Rails runs great on the mac, and it will help a lot to have it pre-installed in leopard. But working on a mac is an experience filled with practical command-line and text tools that are frequently enhanced, however slightly, by graphical interfaces. Rails involves little enough repitition that this may be overkill, but it does kind of seem like a system that could benefit from a graphical interface. Even a web interface!

So I am very curious whether apple will have the initiative to wrap rails into a new generation of their web objects platform (which I think is java based and therefore might profitably use jruby for some things??). If they took technology from iweb and rewrote web objects to spit out rails, and allowed deployment to hosting other than .mac, they'd shatter microsoft with the wave of thundrous web content that they'd spawn. They should license textmate for every new mac, put a smattering of a front end on subversion (which textmate has I suppose), and make the adc site more read/write and social.
