I find that ruby doesn't seem to have many uses. I know a little of it though 

It's mostly used for interactive web applications and such these days, but it is a general-purpose scripting language that can be used for many things.

So it can be used instead of JS?

Nah, I think trinary means server-side coding.
Otherwise it's probably a replacement for Java applets.

@Molybdenum Please remove the first link, it's kinda... inappropriate.

Can you remove the removed link?

I see no point, really. Lightnin linked to xkcd before, which is WAY more inappropriate than BF.

And its not that bad. Mainly the interesting part is the computer/math jokes. The url is www.x Wait a second!

I know some ruby (scratches still better)

Scratch, however, is an extremely high level scripting language and isn't really comparable to Ruby because Ruby is professional and Scratch isn't actually a programming language at all, it's just a programming language simulator with a GUI.

"A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language

That's exactly what Scratch does, so technically it is a programming language. 

Saying Scratch isn't a programming language is like saying Visual Basic isn't a programming language.

SCRATCH IS GOOEY
GUI

I'll make a gui interface in Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP

Well, esoteric languages where you manipulate bytes directly aren't exactly widely used, nor is it easy to make something you'd do with a more mainstream language like C or Python with them.

when gf clicked
repeat until <(timer) > [10]>
  go to [mouse-pointer v]
end
think [Scratch is that popular..] for (10000) secs

Yeah, Processing is very nice. Perhaps it doesn't have as big of a community?

That is true. And a lot of other languages aren't because they are too 'difficult'.

You saying Machine Language is "too hard"?!?! Pfff.
