Biased it may be, but that in itself does not make it worthless. In fact, it can be very constructive b/c it uncovers "attack points" with the language. With each point we can ask ourselves objectively is this a misconception or a fair point? In either case we have an opportunity, to address misconceptions in our Ruby evangelizing blogs and to work to improve Ruby where a point has merit. Bias can work both ways. But I think the Ruby community can rise above it, and Ruby will be all the better for it. T.
