RailsEnvy team switching to Java
by Jason on Apr 01, 2008
It is with a heavy heart I am announcing that, after much deliberation, we've decided to abandon RailsEnvy.com because we can no longer live the lie. Effective today, we've made the switch completely to Java. We're tired of Rails scaling issues.
The Ruby/Rails community has been great and very supportive. We will miss you all equally, but some more than others.
There is better swag available at Java conferences than at Ruby conferences. Oh, and you know that JRuby thing? Well guess what it runs on. Right, that's Java.
We can be reached at javaenvy.com if you have any questions or comments.

What day is it again?
You’ll have to redo all your videos, though! But at least then they would be entertaining (and maybe even accurate!). Happy April fools, guys!
Isn’t april fools just in the morning? hehe
It’s a shame guys, you’ve been one of the site’s I’ve checked daily for a while.
I guess we’ve got a lot of Java vs Rails ads to come ;)
Prima Aprillis:)
yay april fools :)
What? o_o And what about… what about … this video?: http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/5/14/ruby-on-rails-commercial
But what?… Aww man! I’m all sad now ._.
Somewhere a kitten has been killed because of this blasphemy.
haha.. ok ok… i’ve got owned!! D:
xD This is a nice one guys… I totally forgot what day is it today xP.
cruel!!! this is the best rick roll :P
It’s true about the swag, anyway :-)
You sob’s!!
It’s about time you guys came to your senses.
Doh, rickrolled!
You rock ! :D
Oh NO!
This is terrible news! Why would you ever make a decision like that?!?
Should I stop working with Rails too?!?
Sure, I didn’t expect this from you! I thought that you are working seriously and stealthy with ASP.NET :(
p.s. this is one one of the most shocking news today, next to the news that Apple was sold to Google.
AHH! I can’t believe I fell for this.
Hilarious!
My first reaction was, “Way too obvious, guys.”
But after reading the comments, I am genuinely impressed! I am totally amazed at how many people fell for this.
I am nominating this for top April Fools Joke 2008.

Welcome home!
Nice one guys. Would have believed it more on a different day. :)
Maybe we would have had to listen to Gregg state repeatedly that Java doesnt scale. :)
1st of april? hum less than 10 diggs so far. hehehe
For one second or two it really scares me… but then i remembered what day was yesterday! Phiuuu…..
Pesce d’Aprile!!! (italian)
I just <3 Java developers in long raincoats! Are you gonna wear raincoats? Cuz I love to meet you guys! :D
Heh, this only arrived in my reader this morning. Rails scales, as long as your wallet can too. ;-)
Love it.
Especially the better swag at J conferences…
Have you ever considered developing all your apps in Hypercard??? I have a feeling its going to kick Java’s but!
Java is great!!:)
