Surprisingly, yes, I do. Cucumber is a testing tool ~~for ruby applications~~ for a whole lot of programming languages.
Yeah, we use gherkin, which is a variety of cucumber. Programmers name things weird. Java is a coffee bean and C is just a letter; they've just gotten big enough that people recognize them now.
Have always personally seen Gherkin being used with Cucumber, as I believe that they're two parts of the same whole, but I'm happy to be corrected if wrong :).
My understanding is that Gherkin is the syntax used to write the scenarios / acceptance criteria, whilst Cucumber is the tool that interprets said scenarios and executes them as automated tests.
