Ruby: A great language for shell scripts
It’s more than rails!
Personally, I consider Ruby one of my favorite programming languages, and the last time I touched any Rails code was 7 years ago… Note: if you want to use system(e.g. if you want the output to be redirected to stdout instead of a string) or popen(if you want to read or write data from or to a subprocess), those are also available in Ruby! In fact, it is a object-oriented language, and it follow strictly the OOP paradigm (more than Python, in some aspects even more than Java!).
