Why not Ruby?
The Ruby FAQ has a very sincere answer to this question : If you like Perl, you will like Ruby and be right at home with its syntax. If you like Smalltalk, you will like Ruby and be right at home with its semantics. If you like Python, you may or may not be put off by the huge difference in design philosophy between Python and Ruby/Perl. I think, if you like Perl, you'll love Ruby. If you are like me and prefer Smalltalk or Java over Perl, you'll choose Python.

Why Use Ruby?
Ruby combines the flexibility of a scripting language with the power of a fully object-oriented programming language. For a large-scale software project, such as the development of the Kali code, it is essential to use data encapsulation, such as offered by C++. However, when developing new code, it is impossible to know beforehand what the best data structures will look like. ...

Is Ruby Fast Enough?
No, Ruby by itself is too slow for serious scientific simulations. However, it is straightforward to replace a few time-critical lines of Ruby code with C code, thereby speeding up the original Ruby code to a speed that can approximate that of C code without much trouble. See Vol. 14: Speedup for detailed examples.

Why compile Ruby to PHP?
Quite frankly, I needed a topic for my master thesis and writing a compiler of my favorite language seemed like a lot of fun :-) More seriously: Hosting PHP websites is easy and often free, which is not true for Ruby on Rails applications. The compiler (with some supporting tools) could eventually allow you to compile your Rails application to PHP and host it almost anywhere. This would make Rails applications much easier to deploy.

How about Ruby on Rails?
The ability to run Ruby on Rails, Plone and some other non-php software packages is not offered at this time. I'm running Mac OSX and I can't get Joomla to install the zipfiles I made. If you've downloaded a Joomla module, component or mambot to make changes to, then used the Finder to Create an Archive of that folder, Joomla will indeed reject that zipfile when you try to install it. This is because Create Archive adds some hidden folders that cause the Joomla installers to choke. ...

Isn't Ruby/DLX the same as Ruby/DL ?
I originally came up with the idea of Ruby/DLX by using Ruby/DL (and later Ruby/DL2). For calling simple functions like: void usleep(unsigned long usec); Ruby/DL might suffice, but when you really want to use any shared library that is coming your way in a simple and quick fashion, you'll soon learn the limitations of Ruby/DL. ...
