   [SciRuby] What languages have you used?

     Over the years, BASIC, BASIC-PLUS, FOCAL, PDP-8 assembler, PDP-11
     assembler, Fortran, Ratfor, C, sh, Awk, Perl, Ruby.

   [SciRuby] What is your favorite?

     Currently, Ruby. But I thought I'd gone to heaven when I got my first
     Ratfor preprocessor. If you've written much Fortran IV, you know why.
