Just wondering if there was anything in the way of a "Who's using
Ruby?" list for people to point PHB's at and say "Look! So and So is
using Ruby, and they love it!, we should too!". perl.com's success
stories are always fun to read too.
It's always so difficult to convince management that something is
worthwhile when it's still as young as Ruby is. Perl is a fairly easy
sell, Python is so-so, Ruby...uh? what's Ruby?. It'd be nice if
great languages could get the attention that not-so-great languages
seem to be getting (cough, cough, Java), but alas, it seems as if just
being exceptional isn't enough anymore :). (I like to use that line
to explain to my wife why I haven't had a raise lately too :)
Regards,
Mike
