My only gripe would be how loosely Hexley is tied with the BSD Devil; I think that would need to be either stronger, or just non-existant. But I don't use Darwin OS, so... Does Perl, C, or Smalltalk have a mascot? I'm trying to come up with starting points. In any case, a cute animal of some kind would be a winner here. -----Original Message----- From: Mayuresh Kathe [mailto:kathe.mayuresh@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:17 AM To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: A Mascot...
