Brad Wolfe · 2 years agoI actually have a different opinion of Ruby than a lot of Perl people that I know. I love it. That's right, I love some Ruby. One of our newer programmers uses it because it is less syntactically intimidating than Perl, but basically just as powerful. There are things that I strongly prefer Perl to Ruby for (RegEx primarily), but there are things that I do prefer Ruby for (I love the syntax to handle DB connections, for example). Overall, I just prefer Perl to Ruby, but I would say that both are really good at what they do. My preference for Perl is primarily based on familiarity and ease of use for what I do.

Jon Robinson · 2 years agoNice. Seems real simple. Can you explain what all that jazz is about containers and what type of environment you need to use Ruby?
