[LA.pm] LA.pm Tech Talk-09-06-06-Luke Kanies - Why You Should Use Ruby

[Todd Cranston-Cuebas]

I'll see if I can get hand-outs in a format that we can get up on the web.
It would be good to get some of the arguments in favor of Ruby out there for
review. It will also be interesting to see if some of these differences are
addressed by Perl 6.
