Sam Ruby gave a keynote at FOSSSL on The Case for Dynamic Languages.

He details the past to the present, and then shows why he thinks this is all good :)

He happens to use Ruby as the scripting language ;)

A lot of the ideas come from Jim Weirich's 10 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know About Ruby, which is something everyone should read.

He hits the nail on the head with items that make me cringe to be without elsewhere.

It is the combination of all of these items that makes Ruby elegant in my book.
