Okay, you want to jump in and ask questions without spending the time
lurking first. Fine. But telling us what we're doing wrong on two days'
acquaintance with the group, and none at all with the language, is a bit
rich, no?

And we're having fun building it. And you do realise, do you not, that
you're speaking to people who *did* come? Without the benefit of a
comp.lang.ruby-marketing to draw us in? Think about it. 

TIMTOWTDI, incidentally, applies to languages as well as it does to
features.
