Ruby is NOT good for:

1) Writing Garbage Collectors or other memory allocators.
2) Ram tests.
3) Simulating the weather or designing A-bombs -- most of the stuff they do on a
super-computer.
4) Device Drivers.
5) Code that goes in ROM, or other embedded systems.
6) Winning the Obfuscated C contest.
7) Building SPAM systems to send out zillions of offensive e-mails.
8) Violating the laws of thermodynamics.
