Well, I rarely comment on blogs, and prefer to hold discussions on lists 
such as this one.

But I did add a comment on rubyinside.com; I do not care for the new 
logo, finding it clumsy and complex, useless at small resolutions and 
monotone renderings, and generally lacking in the qualities that make 
Ruby appealing.  It looks like something for QVC, not a 21st C. 
programming language.

Photorealism is the static typing of graphic design.
