Ok. I hope it was clear that I wasn't implying that he is.
My remark has nothing to do with Alex really; recent threads here on the list just makes "comparisons" between Ruby and Python a bit "infected" right now I guess. ;)

Sorry if it came out the wrong way.

Then I guess we should be delighted that a python "hot-shot"
is willing to check Ruby out. Again: Welcome here, Alex.
