I feel no remorse for this kid, I was bullied from kindergarten to highschool and only now in college do I feel like I have friends I can depend on.
however, thats no excuse for not just toughing it out, he was given bad cards but he never fought him
so tough shit
considering the forum in posting, I wouldn't be surprised if I was modded down, buut I signed up on slashdot finally just to make this my first post as a reply
while I agree its a niche language now, it won't be long I imagine till ruby ges more mainstream. The main thing holding ruby back so far has been a lack of books on the subject. hoowever, that is quickly changing and already ruby is more popular than python in japan.
caveat emptor: I've only been dabbeling in ruby for the past week or so
anyway, so far I rather like the language as it somehow manages to emain fairly concise yet readable unlike perl and as a language, I find it alot more powerful than php.
ruby + the rails network shhouldn't be dismissed just yet and php programmers would be wise to at least devote some time to learning ruby. I don't imain, assuming you knoow OOP, anyone would have much of a problem learning ruby, and it scales much better for large apps
note: I myself have used php extensivly in the past but I am now seriously considering going to ruby on rails as my nnew dev environment
