Unlike in PHP, in Ruby it's trivial to install additional libraries
(called "gems"). For example to get a library providing access to
MySQL database, all you need to do is type "gem install mysql2" into
the console and wait for a while. To get a library providing image
manipulation, all you need to do is type "gem install RMagick".

In PHP, as far as I know, it would require basically recompiling the
entire interpreter - am I right?
