Matz, I do respect your conviction toward the well being of Ruby. Let other
worry about Ruby on .NET instead, therefore you can concentrate how to make
this language the most natural language for beginners and experts developers
to develop application and add its basic  functionality without being
restricted by other(especially MS) that might have other agenda.

Love your spirit.

Vive Matz.
