I also think Ruby is a very good platform for this as it allows a great level of abstraction and iterative way of building software. As for me, I haven't done anything great in ruby yet. My biggest project in ruby is the distributed task system, that we use for our projects. It allows to submit jobs and track the status of job in realtime, while the working processes (workers) could attach to the bus and take tasks for execution. However, there seems to be memory leaks in the system somewhere, which I'm still trying to get rid of. So I may admit ruby isn't still quite ready for 24x7 mode projects, or I can't write in ruby well:-) Good luck with you projects! You can always ask for a help here. --=20 Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE --Signature=_Wed__27_Aug_2008_03_37_16_+0400_PTTdPKrYSuJUKQ1f Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAki0k7IACgkQK/VZk+smlYFRUQCeK5+AROh/uHWpCDoxHDRVJs5s wk8AmwfmVXgQhCvdv3R1be8emj0X0PJk =mQYV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Wed__27_Aug_2008_03_37_16_+0400_PTTdPKrYSuJUKQ1f--
