That might be a combination of digg and reddit -- and it's possible by
now that it may have made it to del.icio.us and some of the second-tier
tagging sites as well.

And everyone knows that Rails doesn't scale.

I've taken the liberty of submitting it to Slashdot as well, though I
rather suspect someone else beat me to it by now, and my submission will
probably be rejected as a result. Hopefully it can take all the
traffic from Slashdot, reddit, digg, et cetera. I think the new design
is worth the attention.

I'm a little confused by the code sample:

# The famous Hello World
# program is trivial in
# Ruby. You don't need:
#
# * a "main" method
# * newline escapes
# * semicolons
#
# Here's the code:

puts "Hello World!"

A main() method (or function) and semicolons are required by C, C++, and
Java, but none of those languages require newline escapes to implement
Hello World. C & C++ both have puts functions, and Java has the
(admittedly verbose) System.out.println() method.

I think it's really great.

Thanks!

And now ... off to London. :-)

- it runs smooth
- the real urls are great
- content chosen is nice

- i dont like the right side box design. yes original link colors
(blue + purple) are basically a good choice, but here it somehow
doesnt fit onto the maybe too dark lightblue background.

bud besides that.
great stuff!
