Ruby on Rails and J2EE: Room for Both? 47

Yeah, Nitro is in Ruby. But considering that RoR has opened the Ruby door so that many people have been learning Ruby lately ( and also considering that it's quite easy to go from either Perl or Python to Ruby) that's not a problem. Excellent Ruby web programming frameworks are now popping up like mushrooms after a Fall rain.
