= Ruby just came to me =

Ruby just came to me
Like a sweet lover
She fits me
Even when unfaithful
I long for her

Behaviour driven, predictable, short and sweet
My Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

Ruby is not perfect
And I am not on Rails
Her dynamic typing can bite
But I love her for her Smalltalk message passing OOP
And I love her for her functional programming

Behaviour driven, predictable, short and sweet
My Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

I always come back to Ruby
And now on the JVM
She dances with Java, Scala, Clojure and soon node.jar
Ruby is still faithful to me
Always domain specific

Behaviour driven, predictable, short and sweet
My Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
