From: Brandon Weaver Date: 2013-01-09T09:47:42+09:00 Subject: Pure Ruby Jobs --bcaec501662bcb311504d2d06811 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 One thing has been bugging me lately. I've been looking around for jobs in Ruby and I always find Rails within minutes, but pure Ruby or Raw Ruby are never really mentioned. I just find it odd that Rails completely dominates the Ruby market when quite frankly Ruby itself is an excellent language for administration on its own. I can understand it falling under "a scripting language" in most markets like Python or Perl, but given its strengths why doesn't it stand more on its own outside of large scale DSLs? --bcaec501662bcb311504d2d06811 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable One thing has been bugging me lately.
