One of the interesting learning aspects of writing this article, for me, was the effect of space constraints. One loses *alot* of the subtle points while trying to present a credible introduction to an entire language in just around 1,000 words. I was aiming to maintain a tone of fairness while hitting the high notes for Ruby. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback! :) -- Colin Steele colin@webg2.com / www.colinsteele.org / www.rubycookbook.org From "The Hacker's Dictionary": terminal illness: n. 1. Syn. {raster burn}. 2.
