When I decided I'd outgrown AppleScript, I said to myself "Well, let's 
just stick with languages already installed on my Mac. Let's see. PHP, 
Python, Perl, and . . . Ruby?"

After only a modest amount of research, I picked Ruby. If it hadn't 
been pre-installed, I wouldn't have considered it. (Fat lot of good 
THAT turned out to be, sigh.)

[Yes, there's the gcc compiler. I'd already eliminated any language 
with a "C" in its name.]
