That's the second time in one or two days that I've heard Ruby on Rails mentioned. Can anyone here post a paragraph or two description? I sort of know what Ruby is, a very OOP-ified Perl-resemblant language, that's also implemented only as an interpreter. I can't see punting Python for it. Lately I'm interested in OCAML as a possible step up from Python. It has bogosity of its own (much of it syntactic) but it has static typing and a serious compiler, from what I understand. I don't think I can grok it from just reading the online tutorial; I'm going to have to code something in it, once I get a block of time available.
