I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. Ruby is an open-source project with
open development. You can watch the 1.9 tree very easily; you can find
rcrchive.net just as easily. You can join ruby-core (where
non-Japanese development discussions happen). Ruby2 doesn't need
people advertising it -- the syntax is going to change. When that
happens, people will scream.

YARV *is* Rite (not Rake, which is completely separate from Ruby development).

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really tired of
know-it-all newbies who really do think they know what Ruby needs when
they've barely written five lines in it.
