I have been a Java developer for many years now, and it's still what pays all my bills these days. But having set up Ruby/Rails, I am impressed with: - how much I can get done with so little code. - managing third party software with Gem is incredible. You will never want to mention the word Classpath and Jar file ever again. - where are the configuration files? :) - how much excitement developers have over this framework. Its great to be a part of something people are excited about working in again. I wrote a tutorial at http://www.inventric.com/blog/#110660879550548217 about how to get Ruby/Rails installed at an inexpensive webhost where it isn't installed by default.
