EA to Support Ruby and Ruby on Rails?

[apetosa]

EA Team,

I have seen a few threads on this forum regarding EA's supporting Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails (built on the Ruby language) has become the fastest growing web development framework in recent years, and I would love to use EA for Ruby modeling and code generation. Also, it would be great to see an EA RoR profile.

Is Sparx Systems considering Ruby and RoR EA integration seriously within the near future?

I can't speak for Sparx, but they are very Mickeysoft-centric. And Ruby is more wide spread in the Mac community. There is a way to define a syntax so you could import Ruby code. But honestly, this is tough. I haven't seen any serious attempt towards Ruby (here). I like Ruby very much, but somehow it did not raise to it's real capabilities. This is too bad. Especially when I see that languages like Python are hyped so much (for what reason, please?). What you still can do is to create a forward engineer scaffold which seems to fit into RoR pretty well. Round-tripping isn't something EA can handle very well (RR's approach is also very clumsy but seems to work better from my POV).

I would also love to see support for Ruby on Rails.
