The first question is how well you know C++?

How long have you been a C++ programmer? With that we can pitch our
answer correctly. However if it turns out that you know nothing about
C++ then you might find yourself being labelled as a troll and you
wouldn't want that. Was there anything in the six links you were given
that was unclear and you would like clarified.

You should not prefer ruby out of other programming languages, but you
should use the best tool for the job. Programs I have developed in ruby
have ended up as C. Ruby was ideal to get the program worked out but C
gave me the speed I required.
