Ruby is an excellent language to do OS work in, much better than Perl.

Could you please elaborate? And maybe define OS work?

    OS work is work that sysadmins or operations teams tend to do vs development teams. That's probably the best example. As for why Ruby over Perl? I gave a presentation on this at CodeMash 2015

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
