Just wondering, I just heard about this web programming from this forum..
Do anyone of you have experienced with Ruby? Is it more similar to some kind of scripting language (PHP, Perl, JavaScript) or programming language such as: Java, C#, C++

Ruby is similar to Python in that it is an interpreted and dynamic language. Python can be used server side if it is installed, and I would imagine Ruby could do the same.

Hmm... There's an idea! Using Ruby or Python instead of PHP or Perl as a backend...

To answer your question, Ruby is more of a scripting language like Perl, though it can be used to create standalone applications like C++ can.
