    It’s the part of ruby that replaced perl. For whatever eldritch horror perl was it was very, very good at doing text manipulation, and IME the only language to really match that experience was ruby.

      I have never been a fan of Perl, it seems like a patchwork of different styles, and the same with Ruby.

      I have gotten the sales pitch for ruby and RoR so I know it has some strengths especially in web development.
