I've played around with it a little bit. It's a very interesting 
language, but I don't think it's going to replace Perl 
anytime soon. It's hard to stay nuetral when a lot of the 
Ruby literature bashes Perl.

- From the "What is Ruby?" page:

Gee, that would be the last 200 times I wrote a perl script. :)
