Make it two.

Actually at that time I was going through
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/
trying to look what was there and to find good new language to learn. I had
managed to get me in the mindstate I was ready to learn a language, if there
was something meaningful reasons to do so. I found many, many interesting
languages, but before I managed to process my list and pick up one, I
accidentally ended up to memepool.

After this quite delicious hit with new language, I didn't have to prune my
candidate language tree. I've also been at memepool every now and then, and
it seems Ruby link wasn't just a rare gem. *Hint* :).
