Hell I don't care if anyone else uses Ruby, I like using it so much that I would be happy to just keep using it until I found something that I liked even better. I signed up to the Ruby mailing lists 2 days ago and they are just jumping, I really think Ruby (and RoR also) are going to make it big. Even if they don't I'm happy, I like what I got. ps. I started to learn programming in college with Java, after year one I decided not to be a programmer it was so bad, then Ruby changed my mind. -- My Blog: http://27degrees.blogspot.org
