I just returned from RailsConf Europe and it was really nice to see that both “big Java companies” Sun and IBM were presented there and are supporting Ruby on Rails.
Unfortunetaly I did not see Oracle there. If Oracle would be there then they would see that 90% of Rubyists use Macs and then they would pay more attention to providing Oracle Instant Client for Intel Mac.
I went to IBM session and it was nice to hear that IBM is developing DB2 Rails adapter by themselves and that they will release DB2 Express-C database on Mac too. I would be very glad if Oracle would do the same as well.
