	Props to that!  Having been on the fringe of /. with BSD and
ruby I couldn't agree more.  The way that I learned about ruby was
through curiosity about what the flurry of "ruby-" commits were about in
the FreeBSD ports tree.  "Huh...  seem to be a lot of ruby commits, but
what's ruby?"  Little research, now I hardly use Perl and praise the
matureness of the ruby crowd and the elegance of the language's design.
