So Why Ruby
Posted on September 15th, 2009 No commentsThat is a good question that programming students and professionals may like to know, in comparison to other languages; which language is good for what purpose – Java, C/C++, Perl, Python,Ruby. People may differ in opinions.
Read about Ruby: Productive Programming Language by Pjotr Prins , where Ruby was introduced as productive, less coding, syntax very forgiving and feels natural, less interruptions flow-like effort, delivering speed, proof-of-concept. This may come as unsurprising, considering Java and C++ requires twice as many lines than Python and Perl, and Ruby improves productivity even more.
Ruby on Rails Productivity post here illustrates cutting C++ 3300 LOC ( lines of codes ) to just 383 LOC in Ruby. Now that’s a huge saving.
Keep life simple!

Hello world!
Posted on September 11th, 2009 No commentsIndeed, following the tradition of programming, Hello World!
This site is meant as a Ruby/Python playground.
Why Ruby/Python, you may ask?
For the simple reasons that they are focused on being simpler to get things done! I don’t know of any other more powerful web programming languages that can get work done more easily; Python has a relatively established community and web applications, whereas Ruby is becoming more popular with its growing new web features. It just seems at this point Ruby is even simpler to deploy web applications and the growing database or libraries are more organized and structured.
Therefore, Ruby is the first choice for this playground now.
Site is still under development plans to update soon.
Till next time,
