1. What type of language is Ruby?
2. To what extent Ruby facilitates the Java programmers?
3. How this book handles/compares the Java aspects?
4. If at all the 'power of ruby' seem to overtake Java (as what people seem to claim after using and i have been hearing), how far/soon is it going to be?
5. What are the salient features which Ruby offers that is not present in Java?

A lot of dynamism. Whether you consider things like rewriting classes and methods at runtime to be bad or not, there's no arguing Ruby is extremely dynamic, more so than Python even. If you really wanted 2 + 2 to equal 5 or the string "hello" to appear to have a length of 100, you can do it. These features lend Ruby to be particularly suited to "meta programming" and building DSLs.

Are there tools to test statically the scripts and find bugs before the execution?
That's a problem that I encounter sometime in Python.
Then do you have a suggestion of some document or tutorial that I could try to get my feet wet with Ruby (realize its potential and estimate my learning curve)?
