The Ruby Language Will Reach 4 Million Programmers by 2013

- 4 Million Ruby programmers by 2013
- Focus on Convention over Configuration gives impressive functionality to developers
- Rails-Framework is currently the killer app for ruby, other applications will follow
- Domain Specific Languages will be the strongest attractor for professional developers
- Tools will mature over the next year
There’s a graph of it somewhere on the web:
