I am such a sucker for Steve Jobs’ keynote speeches. I just love Apple product announcements. But I was totally floored this morning when I read the news: Mac OS X Leopard will ship with Ruby on Rails and Mongrel pre-installed.

Breathe. Breathe.

This is an incredible boon for the Ruby on Rails community, and an extra-special boost for our Business Case for Ruby on Rails (coming soon).

I can’t wait to get my new copy of OS X Leopard with Ruby on Rails. Rails is 2 years old now, and quickly becoming the defacto standard for web application frameworks. Thanks Apple, for acknowledging what a great framework Ruby on Rails is, and for giving us the tools to make the web even better.
