To be honest I’m a Delphi programmer 
but I needed to use Ruby for an
engine I’m using and I have to say that Ruby Is quiet good ^^ and It
works! ^^

I see this as a sign that Ruby is picking up and gaining traction in
other places. There was a time when there were a lot of people who were
discovering Ruby on their own free will and were looking at documents
(online or offline) and trying out different things. As it gains
traction, it approaches the point where people are having Ruby thrust on
them (possibly more Rails than Ruby) either due to preference of people
further up in the food chain or due to clients (specially in the case of
outsourced projects). In such cases, it’s likely that the engineer is
just venting frustration about the language on a forum cos it’s
something they werem’t born to, or achieved - it was thrust on them.
That’s an interesting theory - and it may well be the case. I am not
sure though whether this is the explanation for what I notice. It’s
usually a good idea to present what one had attempted already - if only
to avoid solutions that the poster has tried already, but also to
demonstrate the own motivation to find a solution oneself. I frequently
see this missing from questions and in those cases I get the impression
that someone is just plain lazy and does not bother to invest minimal
effort to find a solution. Whether this is actually the case, obviously
the reader cannot know. If I would go on I would essentially repeat
what others have compiled already [1], so I’ll stop here.
Kind regards
