Hi Nikhil,
There are many technologies/languages coming up day in and day out!
Though the underline purpose was to solve the problems or come up with
better solutions.
The ruby offers all features the traditional or existing languages
offering, but the difference is
how easily you do it?
how soon you complete it?
how simple to maintain it?
how cheaper you build it?
how fast you get it into market?
and so many such things will follow...
The key is you need to identify the right technology for your problem.
Just one more fact, Ruby took birth around early 90's (1994), but it's
popularity came when Rails, the MVC architecture based framework was built
entirely on single language called "ruby".
get in touch with me if you have more queries, or you want to know more :)
Regards,
Sumanth Krishna. A
