Copied to change name from "Ruby language" to "Ruby programming language" to match other language names.

For the record, I had little to do with this article, other then the editing. The original editing history was pruned --Stephen Gilbert

So this guy created the language in one day? Cool. --AxelBoldt

Of course not :) --Taw


Some of the text of this article seems non-NPOV. For example "clean syntax" and "obvious syntax" seem rather subjective. It doesn't bother me too much, but someone who is familar with the language (and not biased :-) ) might want to NPOV the text. --Frecklefoot 19:08 16 May 2003 (UTC)


I'm not sure that Ruby has ever been compiled yet. AFAIK JRuby is a port of the interpreter to java byte code, but does not compile the underlying ruby? --User:TomCounsell
