But I'm not sure I would like it if an interpreter talks back to me as
if it where an individual. Don't we have enough wierd emotional
attachments to our computers as it is. (Or maybe that is just me? ;-)

and Eliza features to soften the emotional blow of failing to write
perfect Ruby code.

Hey, that actually might be a _good_ thing for C++ compilers :-P
