I'm just going to throw in that when I first found Ruby I was so excited 
about how close to perfect it was that I wanted to perfect it further.

Now, however, I'd be happy to have the syntax stay the same as 1.8 from
here on out and hope that work on future versions would be concentrated
on the backend, improving speed and supporting native threads for example.

The arrow syntax is making me nervous. I say let's don't let the Perfect
be the enemy of the Really Damn Good.
