I've been interested in learning Ruby, especially since
I'm studying programming languages.  The particular features of the language that interest me are the smooth (imo) object handling and string handling.  I need to find
a project (and the time) to sit down and actually put Ruby
to use, though...&lt;p&gt;

For those who have not heard of Ruby, the &lt;a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/"&gt;Ruby Home Page&lt;/a&gt; is a good place to start.  Also, for FreeBSD users, there are already &lt;a href="http://www.freshports.org/search.php3?stype=name&amp;query=ruby&amp;search=1"&gt;quite a few&lt;/a&gt; Ruby resources available in the Ports collection.
