Rep Power: 4 Silvanus is on a distinguished road
One would use Ruby in the kind of situation where one would use Perl or Python- it's a very high-level but inefficient language. This kind of language is generally referred to as a "scripting" language, although I would be hesitant to refer ro something as complex as RoR as a collection of "scripts."
