Ruby

So, I've been programming since 1984. I try to keep up with technology - after all, it's what I do. When I landed Programming Languages for my topic, I thought this should be easy, I know it all already.





You sign your place and calling, in full seeming,
With meekness and humility; but your heart
Is cramm'd with arrogancy, spleen, and pride.
Henry VIII 2.4.118-20

So, I'm looking up the top 10 programming languages and not only is there one on there I have never used, there is one I have never even heard of. I won't bore you with details but Ruby is on every top 10 list I could find and this is the first I've ever heard of it. A bit of trivia, it's name is a smirk at Perl.

Also of note, I dusted off my HTML skills to indent the Shakespeare quote. I used the tried and true table method but the indent was not as wide as I had hoped.

All the world 's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts

As You Like It Act II, Scene VII

Ah, much better. Blockquote seemed to do the trick. Does anyone not see the second quote indented?
