Just want to point out that a secondary issue has been introduced to this
conversation that makes it much harder to answer the initial question.
People started talking about large scale development projects and enterpris=
e
this and that which are valid issues to address when comparing ruby to othe=
r
languages BUT, the question at hand is should undiciplined, or just poor
quality, programmers be handed a language as dynamic and flexible as Ruby o=
r
something that limits their ability/options to do stupid things, like Java
or Ada? Ada, as Ed pointed out, probably is a better choice than Java by
this criteria and it is alive and well in the defence industry.
