[snip 37 reasons I love Ruby]

Glad you found this to be worth pointing out, Conrad. I was undecided
whether
to put this material on the mailling list. You decided for me.  :)

To the rest of the Ruby community, I'll just say this in addition.

1. If you find any inaccuracies in what I wrote, please let me know
(technical
inaccuracies, especially, though you can argue with the opinion stuff also).

2. I have to confess that there are three or four things on the list which I
added
just for completeness. For example, I have never used the Ruby debugger.

3. This posting came out a little garbled (at least the version I'm reading
in
MS Outlook Express). So if you want a slightly easier-to-read versio, follow
the
link. You'll at least get some extra boldface, italics, em dashes, and so
on, and
lose the junk characters that Outlook wants to put in.

Cheers,
Hal
