    Or maybe, after reading the linked to websites everybody is now creating their own Ruby projects and are frantically hacking away at the keyboard ...

    Seriously though, here are a few observations:
    * the extensive feature list is quite impressive
    * the language has been around for more than 10 years now
    * there have been linux packages for as long as I can remember

    OTOH:
    * I never encountered an actual application written in Ruby
    * the latest news item on RubyForge is about a program for sorting (sorry, but it did not impress me very much)

    Oh well, it's probably big in Japan.
