why Selenium Ruby for testing?
The project I am working on is a Enterprise application built using Java. However Ruby Selenium is used to test the application. I have asked my work mates why we use Ruby Selenium as apposed to Java and they do not seem to have a clue its been there since they have started, they believe that it might be because its Rubys is faster tha Java ! and this really does not satisfies me. 

I wanted to ask you guys if there could be a good reason behind it ?
