Reg and Obie both link to this job growth trend graph that purports to show the relative climb of Ruby jobs vs. Java jobs:

Looks good, looks good. But not as good as Lua:

    First of all - I think comparing languages to each other is useless. Each of them comes with their own advantage.

    Beside that, you know what will be the biggest money maker in 2008? refactoring the old rails projects :D
