real conversation was smth like:
- please add optional type-checking to the language

- this don't allow COMPILE-TIME verification of program and don't allow

<someone else> - it's not Ruby Way! we want to go BESIDES existing languages, not TO them
<Matz> - i will wait for some new decision to this problems, please wait

ok. i wait. and with me wait all the corporate world. all looks up Matz and listen
for his Decision :)))
