Ruby getting in the lead

Check out this excellent book (I highly recommend it):

"Code Generation in Action" ( http://www.manning.com/herrington/ )

And what's more interesting, is that the author, after deliberating on various alternatives (Perl, Java, Python, etc), chose Ruby as the language for code generation.

Looks like Ruby is slowly but surely bubbling up to the top!

Funnily, I reviewed this for the author two years ago :wink:

My understanding is that the publisher did not want him to use Ruby (too unknown), but he refused to write the book if he couldn't use Ruby.
