Ruby is just used rarely outside RoR, realistically speaking.
- trcollinson 9y agoActually, you should qualify that a bit more. Ruby is rarely used outside of Ruby on Rails in North America. In Japan, it is widely used and Ruby on Rails is fair less common.
- ksec 9y agoWhat were Ruby used for in japan?
- goatlover 9y agoProbably anything that Perl and Python are used for.
- trcollinson 9y agoRuby is a very versatile language in its own right. While the other poster is correct that it is used for anything that perl and python are used for it's also taking a large chunk from the Java and C# crowd in Japan. Everything from server side applications to command line tools and even GUI based desktop applications can be written in Ruby. Using FFI I have made some quite amazing applications with Ruby. Rails is amazing and I personally love it. But it's not the only thing Ruby is good for.
- rpazyaquian 9y agoWell, true, you have a point. Ruby is rarely used outside of Rails. Which is a shame, really.
- schneems 9y agoGo to Japan.
