The fact is COBOL is still used, and useful today, all these decades later. I wonder what the sentiment about Ruby on Fails will be in thirty years time, and I don't think we will still be using it.

The 2 program samples in Cobol and Html shown together made me realize just how verbose Html really is, which makes me think we will still be using Html in 30 yrs time.

Ruby will still be used years from now. Rails, probably not, but Ruby is a good language in its domain (scripting, dynamic languages).

I'm pretty new to Ruby and I'm already sick of people equating Ruby and Rails though I understand how it happens.
