hi guys - I read some of the posts here & wanted to point out that
rubyforums.co.uk has just 'opened its doors' so to speak - anways
figured we could all use the best ruby communities possible so wanted to
let you know there are some cool resources there for anyone interested,
it's new remember so there arent loads of posts - but I picked up some
useful stuff there, I think if we get it going it has good potential,
bye for now :)

Okay, but its using forum software made in php. :) The true ruby elitists will
have problems using the forum for religious reasons.

Heretic!!! Recant!!!

As long as it works and I don't have to maintain it, I don't really
care what language an application is written in. I suspect most people
are like me.

Alas.

I keep hoping it will turn into a cult or a super-secret society,
perhaps a mythical, creeping swarm of hookah-smoking code ninjas, or
_something_, but then people on this list go and ruin it by being open
and inviting and helpful to one and all.

Spoil sports.

Whatever, dude. That's because we're too cool to hang out with you.

_This_ is exactly what cults do (or pretend to do) and not secret
societies:

Ruby does happen to be the biggest grassroots movement I've seen since
Mr. Linus Torvalds humbly introduced a new OS a while back. I suppose
there are similar other examples, but for this one ... well, I'm in.

As for ninjas, well, do your research.

In my humble, and possibly controversial opinion, I'd suggest it could be
about the fact that the Ruby community seems to have a greater density of
hackers than many others, so it's more common for Rubyists to know (and
even love) several languages than with, say, Perl or Python, where a
greater proportion of the community is probably mostly monolingual.

It'd be especially controversial if the sort of non-hacker that doesn't
know the classic definition of "hacker" saw that.
