May I ask, what jobs are you using ruby for?
For me I'm always doing the web development, so primarily use ruby for
the web projects.
Besides webdev, what's the other usage of ruby language?
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jenn,
May I ask, what jobs are you using ruby for?
Well, on my part, I mainly use it for scripting purpose: updating part
of a static website via ftp checking only for modified files, creating
exercise sheets written in LateX from a pool of separate exercises
(and make it compute automatically numeric values), compute mean
values of marks from my students, organize all these datas into Tioga
graphs so to see their evolution over time, etc..
Every time I have something slightly repetitive to do on the computer,
I write or reuse a small ruby script to do the job for me.
Chandler ~>ls ~/bin/ruby/lib/*rb | wc
186 187 11140
Most of it have been written some years ago during my PhD where I had
a lot of data to process using different kind of techniques but there
are some scripts I continue to use on a daily basis today.
Cheers,

Lots of data processing, quick proof-of-concept work, enterprise integration, data analysis, applications, ... just not using it for desktop GUI applications yet, but using it also for desktop command line apps.

Prototyping, I've written a desktop app in it (a proper one, too!), webdev (with Rails), scripting, useless little things that are none the less fun.

I use it for automation tasks which are too complex for Bourne Shell
scripts such as accessing Perforce repositories, analyzing and
manipulating Java and other source code, analyzing log files etc.
Kind regards

Some years ago I even saw an /sbin/init (pid=1) written in Ruby.

Well, if'n you build it, then someone has to test it. And where I work, we use Watir (Web Application Testing in Ruby). http://watir.com/

* Web Dev using Ramaze (my sites) and Sinatra (on Heroku).
* Automation: slurping information from Rally, generating executive
summaries of project statuses, and pushing it to a MediaWiki-based
corporate wiki.
* Code Generation: Using ERB to auto-generate hundreds of C++ files
based on XML source documents processed with REXML.
* Document Generation: Similarly, using ERB to generate HTML
documentation frameworks based on XML files describing a custom DOM
hierarchy.
* Day-to-day text munging: scanning, re-ordering, formatting, and
perhaps numbering whatever it is I happen to want to have done by a
computer instead of my fingers. Taking any menial task that would take
10 minutes to do by hand and reducing it to 2 minutes of (fun Ruby)
coding and 10s of watching it run.

I have several distributed applications and network servers based on
Ruby. It's proven to be a pleasant language to write such code in.

#1. Rails for webdev
#2. Script for some data analyzing or effective tools
#3. Training: Good show cases for TDD and OO Programming
But above all is Use Ruby for FUN

Hi all!
We use Ruby (mostly JRuby) for
* Rails
* Thick clients on desktop (SWT)
* Thick clients embedded (SWT)
* Messaging with RabbitMQ
* Database processing with ActiveRecord
* Database schema management with ActiveRecord Migrations
Also on non-ruby projects!
* SMS applications
* OS Scripting like installation, maintenance, and backup
* System integration: file conversions, mail processing, ftp, etc
* + most anything we need to do 
...and it is all great fun!
