Ruby may be the proverbial “diamond in the rough” but I am having difficulty justifying all the mining equipment. I know, the metaphor is weak, but bear with me.

I definitely need to buy a book on it. Examples that I have found on the web have been less than adequate. Having been involved in OO (Object Oriented) programming for almost a decade, the concepts are not foreign to me. What is foreign is the non-programming “feel” to the language that I have already. It “feels” more like a tricky type of shell scripting than a language and it “feels” more like hacking than engineering. I’ll give it time and report back on it, but so far, its uncomfortable.
