Holy Sh*t! Joyent Connector and Slingshot open-sourced!!!

Wow! This is freaking huge!

I just spent the last 30 minutes perusing the source code and I gotta tell ya, I’m impressed so far. Nice and clean (and tested!). Going to be interesting to see how long it takes me to get it running :-)

In the grand scheme of things, this could easily be a watershed moment in the history of Rails. I could easily see in 5 years having some impressive (and adopted!) enterprise solutions running on Rails and being able to trace back the knowledge tipping-point to this decision by Joyent.

Thank you just doesn’t seem to cut it…
