Subject: Getting Ruby approved

Hi,

I'm trying to get Ruby added to one of the "supported" OSS tools at Boeing.  

I was asked this question:  "The question is, is Ruby bringing
something extra to the table, that we can't do with Perl, Python, Tcl,
Guile?  E.g., are there OSS packages that we want to use which need
Ruby?"

I mentioned Rails and DRb as being the most useful applications of
Ruby to me.  But can someone help me out with more?

Thanks,
Joe Van Dyk
