Anyone playing with Ruby

Ruby on rails?

The subject line says it all, anyone paying with Ruby and if so in what context are you using it?

I'm just getting started. I just bought and am reading Agile Web Development with Rails.

I like what I see so far. I'm not sure this is the typical hype. The default configurations (scaffolds) are pretty generic and easily changed.

From what I can see, the self documenting code and MVC way in which projects are handled makes it easier to come back to a site or get others involved.

I'm not sure it is faster to get a cart/blog/forum up and running with Rails, but it seems like it would be lots easier to maintain. I can see this really taking off in the forums area and giving phpbb a hard time.

In comparison to WebObjects, Rails seems lots easier to get started with.
