Everytime I talk about ruby, people will mention rails also.
Though I have been also learning rails, but for ruby language itself,
does it do only web related programming?
I’m not sure, but what other fields ruby is been using widely for?
Thanks.
I believe it’s Turing complete so it’s safe to say it can be used for
any type of programming.
I don’t know how widely but some people use it for shell scripting.
Ruby is pretty multi-purpose. You can do graphical games and desktop
apps as well.
The Ruby on Rails web framework of course is definitely a great proof
of concept on something the language can do.

I came across Ruby in the context of WATIR - a framework for testing web
applications.
