So, I would say that any application where you want to achieve a high level of functionality with a fraction of the lines of code and overall effort of other approaches is a great fit for Ruby. Of course, there are problem domains where Ruby is not a good fit. For systems-level development, you want to use C or Assembler. For complex mathematical modelling, there are functional programming languages that are a better fit. But for most business and internet apps, Ruby can't be beat. Mike Pence
