I started learning Perl a couple of years ago. I still like
Perl a lot, and use it.
I make a living as a software tester, though, and one of the
most promising tools for a kind of testing that I'm about to be doing is
written in Ruby: http://www.clabs.org/wtr/index.cgi?page=/WaTiR\. I'm
really impressed by the project and its developers. So I'm learning
Ruby.
I don't have a very strong OO background, so progress is in fits
and starts. Ruby seems like a really good way for me to get a grasp on
objects, something I've managed to avoid in my career until now.

Subject: What do you use Ruby for?What do you use Ruby for is my question.Me,being 17 I have
lots of spare time on my hand, and with that time I've
decided to learn a programming language, Ruby. Right now I'm
learning the basics of ruby and how it works, this will help
me understand and read ruby easier.
Back on the topic: what do you use ruby for? When I ask that
question I mean how do you use Ruby and why. This question
later on when I get more into ruby will help me decide how to
use ruby from your experience, thanks
