That is of course using the OP's metric that "... nine years is the test
of time for a new language to become mainstream". If Ruby was born in
February 1993, then nine years later (in February 2002) it officially
hit the mainstream. That was eight months ago.

Good grief. I really, really must remember to start placing <sarcasm>
tags around my posts.
