Is it worth learning?
I know there are much nicer things in it such as executing several commands with shorter codes...

So far... I can only see ruby working on CMD ( on the first few tutorials)
but I also noticed it was designed to work on webpages.
Can ruby programs come in executable files, like a normal program? (With GUI)
Ruby is a scripting language, similar to Python, Perl, PHP, etc; tools such as "Ruby2exe" exist, but truly, scripting languages are intended to be compiled into executables. They're interpreted, usually, at runtime. _________________

Are'nt intended to be compiled into executables.
My web server runs Ruby on Rails, but I've never used it. If you don't know PHP, learn that before Ruby. It's much more likely to be useful to you later. _________________
