What do you use Ruby for?

What do you use Ruby for is my question.Me,being 17 I have lots of
spare time on my hand, and with that time I've decided to learn a
programming language, Ruby. Right now I'm learning the basics of ruby
and how it works, this will help me understand and read ruby easier.
Back on the topic: what do you use ruby for? When I ask that question
I mean how do you use Ruby and why. This question later on when I get
more into ruby will help me decide how to use ruby from your
experience, thanks

I learned the basics of Ruby 4 years ago just after the first edition
of Programming Ruby was published. It was fun, but I did not use it.
But recently I created some Ruby programs for my research work. See
"Appendix: Computer Program Tools, Threshold Transformations and
Dynamical Systems of Neural Networks" in
http://www.geocities.com....

* Whenever shellscripts would get too complicated (I always forget the
syntax of for-rof loops...)
* For each program I write in my spare time
* Whenever I want to try out a new idea, I think how I would code this
in ruby, then I write it in the language that I have to use.
* When writing Java/C++ code, I sometimes rewrite stuff in ruby just to
see how this should really look like :-)
