General Development "Ruby on Rails is a popular and powerful open source web framework for rapidly creating high-quality web applications to help you keep up with the speed of the Web. Rails is thriving on Mac OS X, and Leopard comes pre-installed with Ruby, Rails, Mongrel, Capistrano, Subversion, and other tools that help to streamline the development and deployment of Rails applications. This article gives you a full tour of Ruby on Rails 2.0 on Leopard - starting with building a web application using the latest Rails features with Xcode 3.0, and finishing with deploying the application to a production server running Leopard Server."

I'll admit I'm not necessarily up to date on these things, but when was the Mac annointed as the preferred platform for Rails development?


Check this blog post dated August, 2006, on the official rubyonrails.org site for an answer ;-)

It’s finally official: Ruby on Rails will ship with the next version of OS X [...] It’s been no secret that Apple is held in very high regard by the Rails community. Every single Rails Core contributer is running on Apple and the vast majority of Rails developers are too. To see Apple acknowledge this and return the favor is very rewarding.

Ok, good enough for me.

Like I said, I don't follow RoR that closely, and had no idea that OSX had become that predominant as a development platform.

I will admit that I was presuming OSX favoritism, so will graciously eat my hat and admit that I've learned something new. ;)
