Anyone using Ruby? (not sure if this is the right forum)

Is it a huge memory/performance hog, just for some cool effects?

Ruby the programming language? Not for me. C++, Java, (and even some .NET when needed for a client :eek:), and then CSS, XML, PHP, and then ADA along with tid-bits of other languages over time is enough for me (at least for right now).

Michael are we the only two here? :D

I didn't mean Ruby... sorry, I meant this new window manager/effects platform that has a fire plug in etc...

Are you talking about Beryl with Emerald?

I just seem to have lots of answers.

Yes, so thats it, is anyone using it? Or is it all eye candy and nothing else?

Quite a bit of people are using Beryl or Compiz (what Beryl is based upon) these days -- well except for ATI fglrx users. Personally I use Beryl on a few machines.
