Goodness.  If you feel like that what on earth are you doing on this list?

The OP has thanked at least two posters here, so I for one assume that we have said something at least marginally useful.

As for Ruby being "out of date" -- what does that mean, exactly?   Even if it were true in some sense, Google the amount of Cobol still being developed - being "out of date" is out of date...
