I suppose it shouldn't be ... but then I'd have to learn xemacs too,
so I thought sticking with something grotesquely simple might be it.

Remember how truly dull I am and then tell me if that's the way to go.

As an example: today I managed to get Ruby to run some tests under
TextPad, and implemented a small set of database objects, Record,
RecordDescription, FieldDescription, that support fixed-size records.
Took me an hour, most of which was spent looking up methods on Array
and Enumerable.

I don't suppose anyone has done a Ruby with a class hierarchy browser
yet?
