The search engine giant, long a proponent of open-source software, is now one of three sponsors of oCERT, the Open Source Computer Emergency Response Team. Launched in late March, oCERT aims to be a clearinghouse for data on security vulnerabilities in open-source products.

Perhaps you should just link to the rubyonrails site instead of claiming what it does/doesn't provide.

Ruby on Rails provides an amazing object-relation mapping for SQL databases called ActiveRecord. It uses ERb inside of ActionPack to provide JSP-like templating.

If you want a MVC development stack, RoR provides it. If you want distributed objects, message passing, etc just look at other standard and non-standard ruby libraries.

The most beautiful part of Ruby on Rails is that it doesn't required 100k lines of XML to configure it like Groovy and other similar frameworks.
