#2 Re: Why Ruby? Posted by Steve (80.68.xx.xx) on Fri 2 Feb 2007 at 15:00 The thing which inspired this particular article was the migration of a PHP-based blog over to a Ruby-based one. Ruby the language I like, because it is small, uniform, and reasonably well designed. I'm getting a little experience with Ruby on Rails and find that a pleasant and fun way to develop simple applications with - but there is so much "magic" in the framework that I'm not sure I'd feel the same way about larger projects. (I've not used it enough to know yet.) I don't have much patience for language wars, although at the same time I do have a strong Perl-preference. Mostly I believe learning new languages, toolkits, and environments is almost always a useful thing to do - even if you don't use them again. I'm not sure I really answered that terribly well, but I hope it gave you something to work with! Steve
