| Ruby is an open source, dynamic programming 
| language that runs natively on Linux, 
| Windows and Mac OS. It runs on the Java and 
| .Net platforms as JRuby and IronRuby 
| respectively. It offers an ideal 
| development environment for Agile 
| practitioners with one of the most active 
| open source communities worldwide which 
| produce and support tools and projects like 
| "Ruby on Rails" - a powerful web 
| application development framework that 
| significantly reduces time-to-market and is 
| used by top web companies like Twitter and
