[ale] best cross platform development evironment

[Ron Frazier]

At the risk of sounding horribly indecisive, has anyone had any experience 
with Ruby?  From an employment point of view, I like the languages 
previously discussed.  However, from an intellectual point of view, Ruby 
sounds really cool because of the power and flexibility and expressiveness 
it's reputed to have.  I have my doubts that it could be as fast as either 
C++, C#, or Java.  Also, it seems like getting a ruby application deployed 
on a user's system might be a bear.

I just decided to run out to Borders and look over some C++ and Ruby books 
for curiosity.  I have a 33% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket, 
expires tonight.

I know Amazon may be cheaper, but I have to see a programming book before I 
buy it.  So many of them are about as interesting as reading the dictionary.

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy 
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
