[PhillyOnRails] Business Justification for Ruby

["Brian McNamara" <mcnamarabrian@gmail.com>]

hi all,

 

i've recently started a sys admin job where (a) the environment is tightly controlled and (b) ruby is not an approved language.  i would like to go thru the process of recommending ruby as a standard programming language so i can use it for day to day scripting tasks. 

 

has anyone in the phillyonrails community had to go thru something similar?  i can use the arguments of rapid development, clear syntax, and rich standard library, but what other points could i use?  any and all help is greatly appreciated (either on the list or off-line).

 

thanks!
brian
