What the AM said ;-)
I've been learning Ruby on the side this year and it has been a most enjoyable process. Nice language. Well designed. Far fewer odd corners than Perl 5.
I'm seriously considering using it for some commercial work if the opportunity arises.
Only two downsides that I've encountered:
- The lack of CPAN. RAA is nice but not quite at the same level of utility yet. However, for many applications all you need is there.
- Speed. Its surprisingly slow. Again, not always a problem. Also, there is no real reason it won't get faster in time. It is, after all, just a trivial matter of programming :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
