Subject: Re: ruby and rails

I believe it's Turing complete so it's safe to say it can be used for
any type of programming.

I don't know how widely but some people use it for shell scripting.

Ruby is pretty multi-purpose. You can do graphical games and desktop
apps as well.

The Ruby on Rails web framework of course is definitely a great proof
of concept on something the language can do.
