In my, suitably humble, opinion, PHP 'is a good thing' and so I'm
going to keep using it for the foreseeable future. The only thing
that'll make me really use RUBY is when people start wanting sites
upgraded when they are already using it.
This may come across as a bit of a counter-revolutionary stance, but
PHP is mature code and is well known to many people. RUBY is largely
unsupported by mainstream hosts and not very well known by the masses.
Oh and BTW. If anyone wants to pay for me to take a course in Ruby,
I'll happily change my arguments :)

Guys and Gals,
There's certainly a mass of hype surrounding Ruby these days.
It raises this question for me.
I usually still use classic ASP for my server-side stuff, but have
begun playing with PHP as well, since ASP is obviously over whether
its a good tool or not.
Now Ruby is pounding on my door, claiming to be the next best thing.
Are many of you already using Ruby? Thus far, I've only seen that
it increases the add/update/delete coding speed.
If the general feeling among is that this will become the method of
choice in the future, perhaps I should come on board....
If you want to keep this list clean, just email me your thoughts if
you like.
Thanks,
