Rails World Domination Tour ’07

As heralded elsewhere, ComputerWorld has named Rails the #1 technology to know in 2007. To quote:
bq. …it[Rails] can have a dramatic impact on the speed at which a Web production team is able to build and maintain enterprise Web sites and applications.

The emphasis in the quote is mine, and I think it’s very telling that Rails is being billed as an enterprise solution for companies because of it’s speed and maintainability. That pretty much sums up my experience with Rails thus far, and I think the first fruits of early adopters are starting to be harvested. Being a member of the second wave, I feel that I’m in a great position to be able to speak with authority on ways to ease Rails in the door at large corporations.

Forward thinking companies have already gotten onboard and perhaps have several developers evaluating Rails in order to make a strategic decision. I think this quote from the article details what they will find:
bq. Equal parts design philosophy and development environment, Rails offers developers a few key code-level advantages when constructing database-backed Web applications.

If you are running or working in a large monolithic corporation and you’re not at least evaluating Rails’ position in your company, why not?
