Hello group. Please take a minute to satisfy my idle curiousity. I'll
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.

1. c.)

2. C# and Java

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
right now, it's as a means to get perl bindings.

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

It depends on whether you mean usage or skill...
For usage, php and bash, I'd have to say, though I care for none but ruby.
For skill, probably python, java, or C.

I'm still a (computer-science)student, and none of my cources mention
ruby ... do d) :(
but, on the other hand, i'm writing my masters-thesis in Ruby, so
somewhere between b) and a) would also be a viable answer.
