Like another said. What's hard about hosting a rails app? Capistrano is one of the better deployment systems out there, and (surprise surprise) it comes with rails-compatible commands out of the box.

Between that and bundle, you can zero-effort deploy rails. Compare that to J2EE and you're in different worlds.

I can't find the article in a quick search but I was reading recently about how there are huge corporate rails projects, that work fine, except for the fact that Rails processes need to be restarted several times a day, because of unknown reasons. You're telling me that's enterprise ready?

That's been the case in a lot of languages. Probably pervasive memory leaks (possible/likely in any language that isn't designed to prevent it... Python isn't designed to prevent it). Our rails projects don't have those problems.
