I've just started programming with Ruby and it's perfect that CodeCall now has a Ruby section. I hope you all will enjoy the new forum and I thank the admins/mods for opening this new section. I made a little "opening-program" in ruby:

answer = "N"

while answer.upcase != "Y"
puts "Hello CodeCall, ready to open the new forum section? [Y/N]"

answer = gets.chomp

puts "\n"
end

count = 11
11.times do
count -= 1

if count == 0
puts "Start asking Ruby questions since the Ruby forums has now been opened!!!".upcase
else
puts count
end

end

gets

(Happy now Jordan :P)

I don't know yet. I just started :)

It kinda looks like Python.

What does this do?

11.times do

[Vswe]

It's a for loop which will loop 11 times.

I have never programmed in Ruby, but that code is extremely readable. Anyone recommend it over Python? (the language I currently use for scripting)

I've a little bias for perl, so I think I will learn python.

I find Ruby the most readable language, better, in fact, than most pseudocode. It also has many similarities with C, especially function names, like puts above.
