Subject: Re: Ruby is exploding onto the scene as Java did at the end of 1990s

I'm not sure I'd call what Ruby is doing an 'explosion' just yet. Lest
we forget, Ruby has been on the scene for a decade now, and while it's
growth in recent years has been quite extraordinary due to the killer
app Rails, there are still a number of stumbling blocks for more
widespread acceptance of Ruby as a platform for application
development.

Personally I love Ruby, and I want to see it continue to flourish.
However, I hate for the hype machine to get geared up and attract a
lot of people who later leave because Ruby wasn't quite what it was
advertised to be.
