In Ruby, COBOL jump on Amazon cloud

"Engine Yard".

"Ruby on Rails".

The railway metaphor just gets cuter and cuter. No doubt we shall see a distributed COM/web service cluster called the "Marshalling Yard" next, or perhaps a named pipe system called "Connecting Rods", or a clustered XML/XHTML transformation service called the Distributed Markup Universe (DMU).

Total bunch of wheeltappers.

Good news about the Cobol though. 'Bout time someone did something right with the cloudy web thingy. Next up: PLAN.
