Why is Ruby such a good language for Rails?

The Sydney Rails Group is hotting up. On Wednesday night I was privileged to be one of the presenters along with Rob Sharp, who gave a very informative talk about memcache and Max Muermann, who stepped us through what's involved in publishing a Ruby gem.

Thanks again to Jason Crane for being the front man, to Lachie Cox for being the recording guru and to Matt Allen for organising the swanky new venue. Apparently we had nearly 40 people in attendance, many of whom were new to the group. It feels like Rails in Australia - sorry, Oceania - is just about to really take off.

The slides of my talk, "Why is Ruby such a good language for Rails?", are available here.
