to me it is. There's so many things I do in ruby nowadays that aren't related to web dev. I use it for system admin quite a bit. I write scripts for my MythTV system in it.
When I deploy sites, ruby's small enough where I can deploy to a 256mb VM so I'm able to use a new server for every app I create. I can deploy to a linode 512Mb slice without issue. I can have different versions of the language running on the same server if needed. ...and I love the syntax...To me it reads like English. On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 2:41 PM, Erika L.
