About three years ago, I ran across a really lightweight wiki that included a built-in server. Installing and running it locally was a breeze, which meant I could use it for making notes and cross-referencing them. It was written in Ruby and I exchanged a few emails with the developer, who had gotten himself sidetracked into a bigger project, building a Ruby-based web framework. The code wasn't finished, but even a non-programmer like me could see the elegance of Ruby and how deftly it was used in the wiki. The wiki was (and is) called Instiki ("instant wiki&quot, the developer was David Heinemeier Hansson, and the framework he was working on became Ruby on Rails (an accomplishment which led O'Reilly and Google to name him "hacker of the year&quot. Given Nokia's embrace of Python, I have despaired at Ruby ever becoming a viable language for developing apps on the Nokia Internet Tablets. (I say "despair" because I can understand Ruby but don't really grok Python.) Then yesterday I ran across a blog how-to on running Ruby on Rails on the N800. And a little digging here at ITT reveals a thread discussing some of these matters. Someone even notes that there's a Google Summer of Code project to build Ruby bindings for Maemo. Ruby on Rails on the N800! Real possibility of developing Ruby apps on our NITs -- I like the way this is turning out!
