I will share a secret with you -- GOOGLE ;-). Searching for "Ruby
language history" (or
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ruby+language+history) produces the
following very relevant links:

http://www.rubycentral.com/faq/rubyfaq.html

http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2001/11/29/ruby.html

http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/10/20/rubyconf-history-of-ruby

And many many other good resources. In case you hate Google, try Yahoo
;-)

Enjoy,
Gennady.
