i am reading alot about it, and liking it soo far. only main problem is that is not widely used.

I did a 10 page report on this language for my CS class last semester. You can read it if you want... It goes in deeper than I would have wanted for any langauge. Just ask and it shall be posted (where you can d/l it).

Ruby is basically Python and Perl mixed into a Smalltalk object system. For instance, you still have regular expressions like perl, but the object oriented stuff of python. But since EVERYTHING is a class, it takes after smalltalk in that manner.

Ruby is quite cool and fun to use. It's not as practical as Python because it lacks libraries and documentation, but it's a more powerful language. Very nice if you like Smalltalk. Blocks rule.
