No. Ruby is much easier than c or c++. Let me know how u fare in learning it.

No. Trust me, Ruby is a breeze of fresh air. It is very very easy to use. I just dont understand why is it not more popular than it is.

You can find out more information at Ruby Language. It is an all purpose programming language - for web and desktop applications.

You should try gimp. Better still try a vector program e.g. any program that outputs SVG. There are lots of opensource SVG programs out there. SVG is real cool. It scales perfectly and some very cool things could be done with it.

Monkey Island Series was the best adventure games. Day of the Tentacle was also very good.As far as a classic is concerned Digger beats all. I still cringe longing to play that game.

You can do with ruby everything you can do with VB.Net etc. It has support to windows API, cool gui (FXRuby), OLE automation, xml parsing etc. There are free libraries available to extend the language. Although Ruby satisfies the definition of a scripting language, it would be gross injustice to label it only a scripting language. It has a full range of object oriented features enabling anyone to write entire applications in the language. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a perfect programming language to use Ruby. I was very skeptical at first but now I even use it to program excel files instead of VBA.

JavaScript is cool and dangerous... you can make the site ugly with it or just do things which are pure eyecandy.I really like its ability to handle xml objects, dom model, css manipulation and regular expressions.But I hate script kiddies who just hack in a lot of scripts of pure junk javascript like message box alerts and pathetic text animations.++++++++++++CobaltChloride

In my opinion c ---> c++ ---> java is a good order. I found java the most fun language of the three. Easier to learn and absence of pointers, automatic garbage collection and cool object-oriented features were excellent features. However, the speed of c, c++ code is unmatched. What is usually do is to do the "core" number crunching in c/c++ and the eyecandy stuff in java. Get the best of both worlds.But some scripting languages are too cool to be ignored. OCaml and Ruby ... boy those are cool languages. I recomment them to anyone anytime to handle most jobs.++++++++++++++++++CobaltChloride

Of all the programming languages I have come accross, there is no language which is as fun to use and easy to program in as Ruby. The iterators in the language and the use of code blocks is just excellent. It takes just an hour or so to get used to the philosphy of Ruby and bang... u can just program anything easily in the language. I strongly recomment it to anyone interested in programming. e.g. 1.upto(10) {|x| puts x} prints numbers from 1 to 10. "abcdef".reverse! reverses the string to fedcba. Cool
