What you have there are a few people that didn't like Ruby. What does that
mean? Nothing at all.

I like Ruby, I'm finally sitting down tonight to enjoy some Ruby coding
(though I don't know what I'll write yet - suggestions welcome!)..

You know, life (and Ruby) goes on no matter other people think of Ruby.. If
it's faster or slower than language X matters zero to me -- I like Ruby,
period.. I think we all need to quit worrying about silly things like
negative book reviews on Amazon.com (of all places!) posting things to
Slashdot and Larry Wall saying something about Ruby at a conf.. Ruby is a
sweet language, let people use it who want to use it and don't worry about
those that don't. If people would put half as much effort into something
constructive as they do into advocacy of their favorite scripting language
and Unix flavor the world would be a better place and this list's volume
would be cut in half!!

Don't worry, code Ruby and be happy!

-Mitch
