Hi all.
[ruby-talk:6596] Short articles for Borders newsletter
Hello, world! Borders (the bookstore chain) has asked for a submission about Ruby for their February computer book catalog. The entry should be fairly non-technical, and not book specific, selling the technical advantages. They're suggesting a bullet list of Ruby's advantages. I'd be very interested in feedback on the following I heard about this today, and they need it by Tuesday, so we'll have to move fast. Thanks Dave ps. Sorry about the copyright. There's a reason to do with transferring ownership that's kinda messy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you: - like the expressiveness and power of Perl, but wish you could write easier-to-maintain programs? - enjoy the cleanliness of Python, but wish it was fully object-oriented? - miss the dynamic and flexible features of Smalltalk? - feel frustrated with the limitations of Java - use C++ ;-) - want to write applications that run across multiple platforms? - need low-level system integration combined with very-high-level programming constructs? Do you want to make programming fun again? Perhaps it's time to look at Ruby, a language that's already bigger than Python in Japan, and which looks like it's on its way to being really big over here. Ruby is something of a cross between Smalltalk and Perl (laugh not), combining the flexibility and convenience of Perl with the full object-orientation and dynamic nature of Smalltalk. Ruby's used for cross-platform scripting, server-side web applications, and full applications development. Ruby is attracting attention in the eXtreme Programming community, as it facilitates the rapid development of eminently maintainable object-oriented programs, potentially reducing iteration lengths and cutting the time between a customer expressing requirements and a developer delivering results. Ruby is open source software, and is available in both source form and in pre-compiled distributions for a variety of platforms. Check out Ruby at http://www.ruby-lang.org.
