I just read this posting from Ezra Zygmuntowicz (Engine Yard Co-founder) this morning. http://brainspl.at/articles/2008/07/14/engine-yard-takes-15mill-series-b-round-from-nea-amazon-and-benchmark This is wonderful news for the Ruby community. Their staff is comprised of some really, really smart folks who want to see Ruby as a language succeed. Engine Yard started out as a web hosting company specializing in Rails applications but they have really spread their wings. They have made contributions on deploying and scaling Rails. Employees have begun work on an alternate VM - Rubinius. They have also been working on an alternate web framework to Rails - Merb. Keep up the great work, guys. I know this funding will not make you complacent.
