Subject: Ruby mentions at Microsofts Competitive Influentials Summit

Just noticed a couple of references to ruby in Matt Raible rss feed
where he's blogging about Microsofts Competitive Influentials Summit
conference he's currently at. Here's an interesting quote from it:

'Richard Monson-Haefel asks "Is there a place for AOP in .NET or is it
too sophisticated for your developers." Don's take is "My development
platform should allow me to write code w/ a couple of beers in me." He
ragged a bit on Java developers and said their main problem is they
think they're smarter than they are. He also said that if he could
change one thing at MSFT, it would be that Ruby becomes the language
of choice.'
