I often talk with my wife about what I'm learning about Ruby, or about how Ruby makes various tasks simpler. She, being a knitter, always responds by finding some comparison between knitting and programming (and, I must say, her comparisons are strikingly on target). Tonight, I was telling her how pleasurable it is to read Ruby code, especially as compared to other programming languages. After a moment's thought she nodded, replying, "Ruby is like baby Alpaca yarn..." What a great simile. I may have to use that as a sig sometime. -- Jamis Buck jgb3@email.byu.edu http://www.jamisbuck.org/jamis
