Human being always craves for something better, if you are staying in rented room, you wish for a flat, when you have the flat, you wish for a condo.

It’s the same with software development, we, the developers, mere mortals that have becomed slaves of computers, always wish for a better programming language. A more efficient and easier to maintain codes. Object oriented (OO) programming language especially Java and C# have been gaining lots of adoption for the past few years because it is easier to maintain your codes in object oriented ways.

Though OO programming language is good, it still lacks the agility of scripting language. With customers demand more for each dollar spent, I too, was pushed to yearn for something better. And today I find Ruby; it somehow manages to combine the goods of OO and agility of scripting language. And in today’s context, it simply makes sense, and I’ve decided to be a new Ruby convert.

The DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle is just too right to be true. It’s amazing to see how few lines your codes can be. The other principle “Convention Over Configuration” saves much of your trouble if you are to try to figure them out yourself. And the best part is all Rubyists speak the same conventions.

Though Ruby is still young, it has been gaining lots of momentum and it will absolutely be the NEXT BIG THING.
