Ruby the new Visual Basic?
Has Ruby become the new rapid application development tool for common application developers? Ruby seems to be filling the traditional roles (and seeing the same sorts of developers) as tools like VisualBasic or REALBasic, especially in terms of rapid development of web applications (as opposed to desktop applications).
Doing some Googling, I’m not the first one to ask this question: Is Ruby the New VB?
What sort of shifts will the surrounding programming communities see with the ongoing influx of application developers traditionally constrained to the Windows universe?
