Ruby is similar to python. The features are almost identical, but ruby follows a C style syntax rather than indents of python. You can download it at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/.

if you are keen on more info about its origins and such you can't go past the wikipedia page on it found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_%2...ng_language%29

Hope that helps a little bit atleast!

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable.

Oh, I need to mention, it's totally free, which means not only free of charge, but also freedom to use, copy, modify, and distribute it.

Thanks for the links!
I was reading some webmaster forum posts when I found out Ruby was a new and free to use programming language. I'm now reading the information you provided above.
