Ruby was originally created as a multi-paradigm language. Recently, it's just been a web programming language, thanks to Ruby on Rails. While it's not a bad thing, and has certainly shot Ruby into the mainstream programming community, what about the other parts? What about systems coding?

Well, look no further. I looked and noticed I didn't have the tree command installed on my Xubuntu box, and decided this would be as good a test as any for the workhorse. I fired up gedit and away I went! After only about fifteen or twenty minutes, I'd pounded out a working version.

I've never been a fan of unit testing. I didn't get the point. Why would I write code that looks at the results of this test or that function when that's what I need to be doing? My tests consisted of starting up my application and then navigating my way to the feature that needed demonstration.

But then I started Zombies! 2, and it ended up changing everything.
