If you had to choose between Java or Ruby, which one would you choose?

And why?

Ruby:
1. Web 2.0 Compatible
2. Runs without any additional configuration
3. Better than Java

I'm not a programmer, but I did study Ruby long time ago just out of Interest. The language, when used with Rails framework offers a rock solid tool for rapid application development. There are several tutorials on the Internet which will make you familiar with Ruby programming language. Ruby is much younger and has picked up the 'best things' from several programming languages.

Java is still rock solid and has a strong community around it. I bet there are more Java resources on the Internet than Ruby. However, the choice of language would strictly be dependent on the kind of application you're aiming. If you want to learn a language out of interest - I'd recommend Ruby. It's fun 😀

Ruby is simpler and faster than Java.You can run directly without compiling!

Wondering,what made you to compare a scripting language and a programming language!

@Praveen: No matter what language it is,if it is compared with Java,you always stand opp to Java, Geeky😉

Okay, now that you said it - you should point out at least 3 areas where Ruby beats Java. ☕

Ok.
Thank you guys! 😀

I was reading an article yesterday, titled 'The future of Ruby is Fail'.
Then looked for it on Google, found Ruby then ROR. And at the same time posted my query here.

Thanks Kiran.
I came across this link on the official Ruby website.

Ok, I think I will give Ruby a try today. 👍

Boss! Still am not a Ruby fan... Coz this rake and rakefile makes me mad! 😛 Fine, since you asked for:
1. Many predefined modules are there.
2. Built in support for AJAX (Partials).
3. Agile Development.
Peace! 😀

Well, you are kinda right... I hate Java, but still I don't have a clue about Ruby... Lemme try another time to learn it again and get back to you guys! 😛 It is hard-coded that "I hate Java" and "I cannot learn Ruby"! 😔

AJAX could just prove to be an added advantage. I wish I get some time to get back to programming 😀

Just that these languages are similar to weapon in warrior's hand, capability of the warrior and comfortability of warrior with the weapon is much more valuable than the weapon alone.
I second vinci's post though.

I second that 😀
It got hard coded when I did one of my projects in Python and another in Java !

I don't know much of ruby.
But I think Java is best for enterprise application and ruby for websites.
Any banking website and business module / transaction are handled by j2ee.
Also I worked on one of world's best Loan management software which is developed in java.

I agree that in starting java seems very difficult and for small projects its seems that something that is developed in java, can easily be handled in some other language.

Er... We have our whole portal of knowledge bank running in Ruby on Rails! Yeah, the main one runs on J2EE and Oracle! 😛

It does not matter which programming language we use but how efficiently we write the program matters😉
