Reason 6 -- Good Libraries
Ruby comes with an extensive list of classes and libraries
The standard library includes the basics
Array, Bignum, Binding, Class, Comparable, Continuation, Dir, Enumerable, Errno, Exception, FalseClass, File, FileTest, File__Stat, Fixnum, Float, GC, Hash, IO, Integer, Kernel, Marshal, MatchData, Math, Method, Module, NilClass, Numeric, Object, ObjectSpace, Proc, Process, Range, Regexp, String, Struct, Struct__Tms, Symbol, Thread, ThreadGroup, Time, TrueClass
Many modules and classes are available from the
Ruby Application Archive
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html
Examples: XML, lexers and parsers, Web development, SOAP, Databases, distributed processing, parallel processing, GUIs, graphics, statistics, IDEs and browsers, testing frameworks, games, MIDI, and much, much more
Ok, its not CPAN yet ...
But we are working on it.
