though Ruby was surging forward near 2007, there are many projects in

are inexistent. Though I absolutely love the "Ruby Way", is it finally gonna
be what perl and py are for the *nix world? I know rails is a holy grail,
but what happens Ruby by itself?
Many projects have built in python bindings now while Ruby is left to
catchup. Is it wise to delve more into ruby or start afresh at py?
You have run into the other side of the network effect. No matter how
well designed your ideal language might be, if it doesn't have things
like bindings for the popular libraries, you are usually better off with
the more popular ones not just because they are popular, they also tend
to be convenient for interacting with the rest of the world.
