Those who tried both have learned programming Ruby is much faster. You can 
typically add a feature with the fewest edits. Java uses many negative 
systems, including static type checking and a redundant "import" command, 
that make you generally sit around filling out forms just to get anythig 
done.

Dave Thomas, an author of the Pickaxe Book for Ruby, describes the situation 
as "Ruby stays out of your way".
