but can we really live on, knowing that perl has a "yadda yadda" operator and
ruby does not? *g* we should at least have a "yabba dabba do", shouldn't we?

I have a theory that programming languages die with version 6.
Now this yadda yadda thing only confirms it... ;)

Only a theory, or anecdotical proof as well ? :)

This very much depends on how you define "death" of programming language.

VB6 (it is interesting that VB started as "Ruby").
Perl6, PHP6, Java6 - who will choose them over Ruby? ;)

Well, you can use raise "Yadda ...your comment here" and grep will
work again :)

Interesting... I thought that only I had been adversely affected by the
Inky Foxes intro to Ruby. It seems to be viral in nature, more
widespread than I had could have imagined.

Oh, the horror.

Yeah ... but Java 5 is really Java 1.5. :)

I'm guessing I'll live to see Ruby 3 ... not sure beyond that. Matz, how
about skipping some numbers so we can catch up?
