Hello David and everyone again,
Four people is too small.
ThinkSecret is a rumor site, they could have this number or the entire
rumor about WebObjects wrong.
AppleInsider posted a similar rumor one year ago and nothing happened
back then...
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1135
So let's give Apple a change how things will work out.
As many people mentioned Xcode will not stop working tomorrow and
Apple just stated these applications will run on Leopard.
Also WOLips (apparently, see other posters, I don't know...) being
used internally at Apple means it's ready to go:
If Apple can maintain the iTMS and then most possibly the rumored
upcoming movie store with these tools, it should be good enough to get
started with them, no :) ?
That's a very good argument.
Also, in the RoR web page, they state RoR will be included in
Leopard.
Yes. Don't let this scare you.
Apple always included a vast set of working versions of popular open
source technologies to OS X (Server) and make them work fine together
- after all, that's their advantage over, say, Linux.
A few years ago, Apple added PHP, then they added JBoss...all
"competitors" of some kind to WebObjects. This didn't mean WO was
dead, same for RoR. If a magic tool named NakedJellyBeans comes up,
Apple will most likely bundle NJB with 10.6 and so on IMHO.
Open source could be nice, but it is not faster than an enterprise
(with money) to develop > and back up a project.
WO open source vs closed source is a heated topic so I won't go
there again:)
I invite you to join the WebObjects-talk list where this has been
discussed extensively some days ago.
Thank you,
PS: A kind reader named Fabian sent me the link to that hilarious
post. If you laugh hard, you will know you have been here for too
long...

A parody we should take rumor sites news with a grain of salt, IMHO.
Have a nice weekend.
Marc
Thank you.
