Subject: Re: What are people using Ruby for?

I recently created a commercial application which was
a soap server. Converted tabulated files to sql, then
gave out SOAP rpc form.

Ruby can be used for administrative tasks, it is easy
to script tasks in then per say.. bourne shell(sh)

There are various ruby toolkit bindings, I don't know
of any big gui apps written in ruby.

There are certain commercial software products using
ruby as an embedded language as well, though I cannot
think of the name now. It was mentioned a while back
on the list.
