Ruby seems out of the spotlight this year

I only know of two Ruby projects that garnered much attention last year:  Twitter, which gets a lot of buzz, and RubyCocoa which is still a work-in-progress but will hopefully get completed in the next year or two.

I have been focusing my programming skill enhancement efforts this year in Objective-C/Cocoa programming and extending my abilities to adjuncts to the Java EE standard. Products in those two areas look like they will get the most attention from software product customers this year.

Consequently, I have not been doing a lot with Ruby lately.
