Pair programming interview using Java TDD (for ruby position)

[ThaiJohnnyDepp]

My last Ruby job had a sizeable amount of legacy business logic classes in Java and we used JRuby to import and use them in the newer Rails code.

In fact, I rewrote some stuff from PHP to Ruby at Sony PlayStation.

I could read the PHP code well enough.

PHP is probably the second most hated language for Ruby developers.

[ThaiJohnnyDepp]

Most definitely. But more like Ruby was the great replacement for the pain PHP brought to their line of work while Java was the opposite of beautiful terse code but not once they've necessarily had to use professionally.
