Matz,

I just listened to your presentation at LL2...very nice job.  You have a
great perspective on the balancing the needs of humans vs.
computers...and Ruby is a direct reflection of that balance.  

The whole issue of macros and extending the language of Ruby seems a bit
odd to me.  With Ruby its quite easy to add what appear to be core
language additions without macros, just by extending/overriding core
Class/Module methods.  I understand the difference, but I have not
encountered the need in practice.  

Thank you also for making the trip to RubyConf, I know it's a long way
to travel.  I hope you are home now and enjoying your family!
