Ruby as a gateway to... Java?
Rafe Colburn: I don't know about you, but I'm much more like to port my PHP applications to Ruby on Rails than my Java applications.To me, Ruby is a lot like C#. Not in terms of syntax or language features, but as a pleasant improvement over what was there before. See, if I ever have to do any Windows programming again, I'll be thankful for C# and .Net. They're a great improvement over C++/MFC and Visual Basic. And likewise, if I ever have to work in the world of the scripty web P languages, I'll be thankful there's Ruby. It looks like an improvement as well. And like C#, Ruby looks pretty easy to learn.
