Ruby is a scripting language and an OO language. VB is not but I hear this may have changed with VB.net. I like many others don't really like VB http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic42169.htm You may be better served learning java or C# if your interested in VB. Otherwise, ruby is a good language to learn.

JRuby for example is Java powered Ruby implementation. IronRuby is implementation of .NET. This post has been edited by MitkOK: 12 Feb, 2008 - 02:45 PM

However I would start off with java or c++, especially if you want to be a computer science major in college because those languages will probably be used. Ruby is not just for web applications, you can create anything you want. Rails is a web framework created in ruby. Essentially any rails application is a ruby one, just thought I clear that up.
