Support for Ruby on Rails

Support for .rhtml and .rb would be amazing! At least syntax highlighting would be a great addition.
Cheers, Ralph

I'm about 47 years from understanding the power of Ruby on Rails at all but as it appears anything amazing these days is being developed via ruby on rails, it seems like a wise thing to implement.

www.37signals.com, just in case.

Karlis,

take a look at Ruby on Rails. It is a useful framework for creating web-applications, written in Ruby, an object-oriented scripting language.

In fact you would need to create two syntax highlighters: one for Ruby files (.rb) and one for embedded Ruby (.rhtml). The latter is plain html with marked up Ruby code in it.

Simple project management with syntax highlighting for both data types would already be more than enough (for me at least).
Cheers, Ralph

some more RonR links karlis...

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails - official wiki
http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/artic ... -tutorials a good list of tutorials
http://osdir.com/Article6677.phtml is a link to the Orielly/Google Open Source Awards announcement where the creator of Rails won hacker of the year for 2005.

I'm sure it's too late for v1 of 2006 but I really think Webuilder would turn a few heads if it had ruby (and ruby on rails) support. If for no other reason than it's hot right now. I realize ASP and Java have a larger market share at this point but Java programmers are fleeing to RonR for so much of their work. It's not java, and can't do all of what java can do but (appearantly) it can do 80% of it and 10% of the time.

2 cents,
will

This is something that we could take as the next step after version 2006 is released. I will think about it.
