Here in Italy, Ruby is absolutely uknown, even among Linux comunity and script
programmers. I am a technical contributor at Linux&C
(http://www.oltrelinux.com), the number one technical italian magazine talking
about Linux, and I have never heard somebody saying anything about it. It will
be interesting to write some articles on Ruby; it is the only way to spread it.
So, is there an italian writing who knows Ruby on this mailing list?

ps.
Ruby lacks documentation and some -- small but many -- examples to be
understood. Ruby is not a simple language to learn, because it is not possible
to a language to be easy and object oriented, general purpose and complete, all
together.
