Web 2.0 Developer Concerns

Scaling

Maintainability

Tooling

Concurrency

Integration

Java and Dynamic Languages

“Sun's support for Rails goes even further, though. Their work on making Netbeans a kick-ass Rails IDE seems to be progressing at a rapid clip (and already winning fans). Yet it pales in comparison to the rise of JRuby as driven by Thomas, Charles, and Ola. These guys are improving their JVM implementation of Ruby at a truly insane speed.” - David Heinemeier Hansson

(Inventor & lead developer of Rails)
