"Off Topic" can be very subjective.  Personally, I view all this talk of new 
languages created by cannibalising/destroying Ruby to be OT.  I would prefer 
that ruby-talk concentrate on exploring the power of Ruby as it is.  Matz is 
aware of how he intends to enhance and iron out the wrinkles in Ruby, and 
judging from versions 1.x, I am delighted with his vision.
