I never interpreted 'success stories' to translate to 'you can make money with this language'. Perhaps the word 'success' is the problem. Like others I see a 'Who's using Ruby' as more a means to combat PHBS (which exists in the biggest of technical shops) and to help get the creative "what if" juices going. I know it sounds childish, but the phrase "...but X is using Ruby" really carries weight sometimes when it shouldn't. Responsible technologists will only pull this out after *real* review of the technology, whether it be "Hot" at the time or not. > Why be concerned over Ruby's popularity? Mindshare is important to any community. It just is. I know it is getting crowded but having lack of mindshare is definitely a worse problem. I am encouraged by the number of young people whom I know locally who are considering technology careers not just for the money, but for the enjoyment they are getting out of programming--largely from the Rails phenomenon. I have also read students who post who *hate* programming in Java. Ruby keeps them motivated. [BTW, I still think they should learn Java for the same reason I am forcing myself to learn some .Net. I agree with what I've heard Chad say in podcasts, "you should learn a new language every year, particularly one you don't like" for the mind-opening excercise that is.] > Or, at least, why be concerned > with making Ruby popular among people who don't have the wherewithal or > motivation to properly assess it?

Do techno-decision makers mandating Java versions of anything belong to the Java community?

Over zealous evangelists with their auto-defend set too high hurt more than help with their foolish "it's been fine for 10 years" posts suggesting no further scrutiny is needed. But, again, after review the "it's been fine for 10 years" does sound nice to that doesnt-know-hes-pointy-haired, hasnt-coded-in-three-years, technology-picking, senior "Distinguished Engineer." Too often having to sell a perception is our reality even after we know the truth. The danger is not learning the truth before pitching the perception. -- Rob Muhlestein http://rob.muhlestein.net
