I’m in no way promoting/affialiated this band or the site or anthing  
like that, but I thought it was a pretty cool song. When I’ve been  
working and my non-nerd friends ask where I am they all roll their  
eyes and say somthing along the lines of “he’s getting cosy with Ruby  
again”. My ex-girlfriend couldn’t figure out who this girl “Ruby” was.  
She was pretty jealous until she realised that it was “just a  
programming language”. She should have been more worried.

So, hope you like the song. The great language got an awesome  
soundtrack!

This song is okay, but I greatly prefer the classics, such as “Ruby  
Tuesday” and “Ruby Soho”.

I want to see a web site rating programming languages by the number of  
pop songs about them.
