I am reading through the Ruby tutorial - it certainly sems to be the
"next generation" OO language eg all data types (even integers) are
objects with builtin methods for their manipulation. Seems much easier
to grasp than C++ - I always get tangled up in all the scope rules with
objects. The problem of communication between objects never seemed to be
satisfactorily solved in C++ - Qt used the signals/slots mechanism,
wxWidgets appears to use validators. The details of how these worked
appeared to me to be quite arcane and impenetrable. Again here I always
seemed to come against scope errors that I couldnt solve
The concepts of C++ are in Ruby, but simpler.
As ever I find it hard to catch up with you guys who have brains the
size of planets, but I will keep at it
Would it be possible to bypass some of the performance bottlenecks in
Ruby once you get a sytem going?

Appointments app is progressing, should be testable after this weekend.
Experience with Ruby/RoR so far is that
(downside)
- I still find Python code more "natural" to read and write
- Python executes most things a lot faster than Ruby
- Python has more libraries available overall
(upside)
- RoR is the best designed framework I ever worked with.
- RoR is the simplest to use framework I ever used
- RoR is the most complete framework I ever used (first ever "full stack" web
