I gave a brief talk about PSP game programming to the SDSU ACM group last night.
Out of about 25 attendees, two raised their hands for Ruby. One of the two worked at Qualcomm. He mentioned that historically, they've done lots of PERL stuff, but now Ruby is slowly being phased in, gaining momentum as a choice over PERL.

Interesting.
Perhaps the real sign of Big Corporate Acceptance will be when people start referring to RUBY.

you obviously don't work for the government - otherwise you'd know that an acronym must be double nested or self referring to be adequately obtuse ;-)

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to poke fun at you; I've just grown accustomed to seeing job ads and recruitment E-mail that refers to PERL, JAVA, and similar miscapitalizations. And I figure it is only a matter of time before buzz-oriented HR folks start asking for RUBY experience.
Anyways, in the spirit of geek pedantry: Perl is not an acronym. It is a backronym or retronym, as the meaning of individual letters was retrofitted to the name of the language after it was chosen.

Other adverbs can also be used:
Unconditionally Unequivocally Upliftingly ... etc. ...

But what about the LAMP stack - will that become LAMR? I can't see that one catching on.
We can all hope Ruby becomes a RoRing success.
