To me, Ruby has become the replacement of shell, so that whenever I need to write a script that is going to manipulate some files, do some filtering (great for log files for example) or something simple like that, Ruby is my default language. But because of the fact that it's dynamically typed, I would never consider for anything longer than a few hundreds of lines, especially with a team of more than one person. And Charles, I'd like to emphasize that what you did with JRuby is absolutely outstanding. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
