Wow, could you possibly be more negative?

This kind of dismissive overlording behavior does not reflect the usual 
spirit of acceptance and togetherness found on this list, especially 
since so many projects of the same spirit are in progress at the same 
time (YARV, Rubidium, JRuby, MetaRuby and a few less-publicized ones).

This is a time for offering constructive criticism and helpful insight 
into the difficult problems ahead, not a time to say things are 
impossible!
