Ruby Hits #1 In England

- “Ruby” Becomes 4th Most Popular Girl’s Name in the UK
- Ruby Moves Up to 11th Most Popular Language
- Ruby Creeps Up to #9 on TIOBE, Overtakes JavaScript


Okay, it's not our beloved programming language, but how often does a song called "Ruby" come around? You don't see many songs called Python or Haskell getting in the charts, whereas we get to enjoy #1 singles, a popular girls name and precious stones.

Someone did tell me about this a few weeks ago, but I searched for 'kaiser' in Mail and nothing came up.. so I've forgotten who it was. Credits to you whoever you are :)
