I read a bit about it, but there aren't many articles which clearly describe the differences between java and ruby. I really would like to see some code examples. I guess i'll have to try it. That last article that you link to is pretty good, btw. No, I haven’t tried ruby yet.

I also forgot to react on your question about the difference between java and ruby.. Pfff.. that's difficult to tell. What I do know is that Ruby is more a real OO language, without any primitive types etc. Everything is an object...Without good programming experience with Ruby, it is not fair to compare both languages..I think oops, I see now that I made one big link..

So once it arrives I will start playing around and make myself more familiar with RoR. I also have to say, at the moment I amvalso busy with EJB3.0. However, You can have a look at my earlier post about ruby on rails. It contains a nice link to a tutorial by O'reilly. That tutorial was the trigger for me find out more about RoR. I think that the lack of configuration files, a lot of code generation (for example for your model layer), clear and optimized libraries and a lot of support will speed up the development process. However, I am curious about RoR will perform in building complex web application..it is still the new kid on the block.. Concluded, I have to admit that at the moment I also do not have a clear view on the capabillities/advantages of Ruby and Rails, but what I have seen in the tutorial and read on the weblogs by established people, it should be something to pay attention to. Did you already play around with RoR? Hi Andrej,

Do you think that there's a big difference between java and ruby, and if so, what's the difference? I would also like to understand how Ruby on Rails makes you more productive, and how this is different from other frameworks/code generation tools. Can you show me some examples?
