  Ruby's a really nice programming language - said to be easier to use than Java ..

  With many high-level languages, there are a lot of weird quirks that are necessarily to write code that won't break.

  Because of this, a lot of the time, a beginner often can't get to grips with creating anything worthwhile, because they need to know about things like 'casting' and 'precedence', the number of bits each datatype is going to consume or where to add a semicolon to end each statement. The details get in the way.

  With ruby, a lot of the time this knowledge isn't needed - stuff just works. It's a much nicer language to code in.
