tabulate and post the results in a few days. Two questions:

1. Do you use Ruby in your "day job"?
a.) Yes! Lots!
b.) Some.
c.) I little bit when I can get away with it.
d.) I wish!

2. What are your one or two principal programming languages other than
Ruby?

I'll go first.

ParseTree is a little brown stinky ferret that digs down a hole and
violently rips the AST away from the warm bosom of ruby. In other

c and d. I use it for scripting (automating maintenance, etc.) and
would love to somehow squeeze it into the code actually produced.

At work: Perl, perl and more perl. Although I get to play with C code

Everywhere else: C/C++ (but rarely nowadays, since I use ruby whenever
possible).
