Well, the main thread was about how long will it be until selling Ruby
to corporations becomes easy. Because people like to work.

The interesting thing is that if you have Gmail, the hijacked version
of the thread -- with all its mentions of Lisp -- is showing me ads
for jobs at Google, Art & Logic, and Jane Street Capital.

Talk about Lisp and Ruby enough in Gmail, and all you get is job ads.

Not to be totally intractable, but I think this totally proves my
earlier point, that people who are looking for good programmers are
much better customers than people who want you to code in Language X.

On the other hand, the Google job ads are all for Java jobs, so,
whatever. Who knows.
