So,instead of switching from RoR to some other technology ,they have to switch there architecture from web2.0 to RIA . Since RIA works in asynchronous mode and most of the processing is intensive at client end, it reduces network traffic resulting in improved performance and better experience for user. What I can say ,Rails cannot implement RIA architecture ,so we can use "flex" as a RIA implementer at client side and Ruby at server side.For this we must have Ruby on rails SDk with flex which will be launched by Adobe recently(or might be under construction). So, we have to wait before saying anything about RoR. :-) Hi,
