again, i don't think the current developers jumped ship...tcl/tk seems
to be in active development...

you can get this from any of the language newsgroups. i've got a few 
suggestions for ruby (the list is slowly growing) as i go through 
'programming ruby') i can imagine the response i'd get if i asked 'can you
add this' :)

i think that ruby could use a 'timeout' command. but i doubt current ruby
developers are going to jump on that one right away.


so far the only ruby 'quirk' that got me. is lack of '++' to increment a 
number. i read a thread about it earlier, and understand the reasons why
ruby is the way it is. i could even live with a x.++ syntax, or even x.pp.
i've never used the x+=1 even in c/c++ code i've written.
