Subject: Re: Is it considered Harmful?

It's usually Ruby's fault, except for the fact that you can, in "pure
Ruby" code, use modules like DL (which is, of course, implemented in
C) to do nasty pointer-munging -- it allows evil.rb's implementations
of #class= and #become, but could also let you start overwriting the
entire virtual memory space of the Ruby process with random noise. Is
it the Ruby interpreter's fault if the programmer suddenly decides to
go on a rampage inside the memory space of the entire process?
