Ruby is our preferred language. Ruby is better than shell scripts for workflow control. Ruby is better than C++ or Java for data manipulation. We also use Ruby for wrappers on third-party software, as glue instead of applescript, and for build control.

I love it. Thanks for an interesting interview link.

Well done.

the irony is that sciruby is running moinmoin but, at the time i set it up, no
ruby wiki came even close to the features i needed with respect to security.

Yeah ... and nothing written in Ruby comes close to the functionality of the
Moodle course management system, which is written in PHP. That's why we need
"killer apps" with defendable niches written in Ruby!
