Ruby on Rails has become a new competitive face in the server programming industry, along with php, asp.net, jsp, python, and a few others. But is ruby used for anything BESIDES rails? Does it owe all of its success to the rails framework? More questions here are tagged ruby-on-rails than ruby. However, I supposed PHP isn't used for that much outside of server stuff,

thoughts?

The Metasploit framework was written in Ruby and modules for it are also written in Ruby. This has become a commonly used method for writing security exploits and for security research.
