One of the coolest things I ran across in RJS was the delay method. This delay method will do just that and delay a number of seconds. So lets say you need to highlight something that was just added to the page after the user submits it. I would like it to add to the page then wait 1 second and then highlight. The following is the code for that.
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 languages like Perl or Python do. Ruby is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and cross-platform portable language that has a syntax that is easy to understand.
Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto was looking for an object oriented scripting language. Python wasn't OO enough. Perl's "Swiss Army Chainsaw" approach was too messy. When he didn't find what he was looking for, Matz decided to write his own language. His goal was to create one good enough to replace Perl. Ruby was born in February of 1993 and first released to the public in 1995. Today, Ruby is more popular than Python in Japan. Ruby started hitting the shores of the United States around 2000.
