Hal Fulton has an article up on DevSource, Five Things You Didn't Know You Could Do with Ruby.

When DevSource asked me to write this article, I had to fight two temptations. One was to make it very language-oriented, talking about Ruby's syntax and semantics. Another was to make it very technology-oriented, full of buzzwords such as RSS and XMLRPC.

 

Though I've used the occasional buzzword here, I took neither of those paths. I've tried instead to present Ruby from a high-level view, almost a management perspective, to show that Ruby is mature, powerful, versatile, and gaining industry acceptance on a daily basis.
