While I understand your comment, as someone who's fortunate enough to be paid to program in Ruby, I find it a little sad that Ruby is considered mostly in Rails terms. While I was unemployed, one of the recruiters I was with mentioned that they referred to me as the "Ruby on Rails" guy. Which kinda sucked because they were only looking at jobs for me with "web" application. I turned around and wrote a FXRuby wrapper for ai4r that can be run on the desktop sort of as a reaction to show that Ruby can run on the desktop too.
