Hi --

I have always loved this anonymous quote from an old Ruby Garden
exchange ([url]http://www.rubygarden.org/article.php?sid=222[/url], about
1/3 down the page):

I would like to evolve FROM Perl, Java and C++ rather than TO Perl,
Java and C++.

It's amazing how often this quote hits the nail on the head in
discussions of Ruby's past, present, and future.

I've always wondered who wrote it. Anyone want to step forward? :-)


David
