While writing this post, I also began suspecting if all these productivity is primarily due to the fact that ruby is truly lean, scripting language. If only JVM were less bloated and didn't need compilation (which I guess is true now that we have groovy etc.), I could potentially do most of the above mentioned stuff in Java too. @Ray, good to hear from you. Thanks for the link, I have been there before but it was just starting out back then. I am sure it is fill with more interesting stuff now. @Integrum, nicely stated.

In regards to online documentation, I have to mention the great work being done on the rails guides... http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ I've always got one of those guides up when I'm doing Rails stuff. -Ray Sorry for the double post; I forgot to mention something.

It doesn't bog you down with tedious setup/configuration that isn't fun. Ruby is fun because it gets out of your way and let’s you be free to create/program which is the fun part.
