Hi Gustav,

I looked at Ruby some time last year purely to investigate the language for
a client as an alternative to C/C++ which was costing him too much for
cutters.  The feature set looked good, the simplicity looked good, but we
discounted it on the availability of local expertise- not that there isn't
any it was just that the experts are all quite busy.

I did not have the benefit of an IDE to evaluate it as a user.  So thanks
for the link to Blackadder - I will revisit Ruby again.
