I'd agree except that I really need to learn C++. It would really help
Rails adoption at my company to have an ISAPI RailsRunner for example.

Of course I agree 100% about c#, and I'm certainly planning on writing
plenty of it in the future, but for now, I just want to make sure Ruby
gets a strong foothold. At least until Rite arrives. ;-)

All of you have really helped make some great contributions to my
efforts though, and I appreciate the comments.
