Bret, Jonathan:

Thanks for these notes. I personally like Ruby's object oriented approach.

The only 'flip' I found about ruby that I find is the relatively scarce
resources / documentation when compared to Python. Almost all searches
point to a different version of the 'pragmatic programmer'. Are there other
online resources that you guys could point me to? For example, when trying
to do something with the Win32 API callbacks, I couldn't find much help.

Thanks
Raghu

Perl encourages cryptic code, which makes it a bad choice. It also lacks an interactive shell.

Python could work. Ruby was Brian Marick's choice and he was convinced to switch from Python to Ruby when he sat with Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt on a bus.

Hi All,

I was explaining to my friend about Watir and its nice capabilities.
In the middle of the conversation he asked me as to why Watir uses
Ruby, which is not as well known as Perl, Python or other scripting
languages. Is there a special reason why Ruby is being used or is
just incidental.

Thanks
Raghu
