Seeing as I have no choice to learning Ruby if I become apart of this dev team, this is great to know. One of the greatest strengths that I absolutely utilize all the time in PHP is the libraries (curl, gd2, xml parsing, mysql, ect)...I couldn't imagine doing effective programming without it now.

Oh well, another challenge, another achievement. Thanks Vec!

Ruby has bindings for most of those libraries (or classes of libraries, like XML parsers.)

I think CURL is handled in a more abstract way in Rails, but I haven't really gotten to work with Http clients in Rails yet.
