Ruby is a fully object oriented scripting language. It has quite a following but is rather new to the US. It got it's start in Japan about 5 years ago. For myself, I consider it a Perl replacement and I use it both professionally and personally. The official Ruby site is: http://www.ruby-lang.org There is also a book that is available and online at: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/index.html Cheers ========================================================= Jim Freeze jim@freeze.org --------------------------------------------------------- No comment at this time. http://www.freeze.org ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
