Excellent for conversational marketing:

    "Didn't you know that PERL is written in Ruby?"
    "We use PERL all the time for writing Ruby programs."

Also that would seed Perl search engine results with Ruby references. 

# RAD -- Ruby Accelerated Development (aka Rapid Application Development)
# RAD -- Ruby Application Development
# RRAD -- Rapid Ruby Application Development :)

Well, speaking of RAD ideas, these were inspired by
the cover of the Ruby Rocks book:

Ruby ROCKS -- Ruby Refactoring Object Consolidation Kit System
Ruby ROCKS -- Ruby Rapid Open Construction Kit System
Ruby ROCKS -- Ruby Renaissance Omni-Construction Kit System
