FYI - Ruby related article/blog on Reddit front page

It's not the most flattering blog post:

http://noodlejunkie.com/articles/2006/12/10/ruby-...

The title is also misleading, as Ruby as a language is fine. Post on the
blog or reddit to clarify concerns and objections stated.

No problemo!

Yeah, we were pretty suprised. There's even a picture (dscf0195.jpg, I
believe) of our amazedness, assuming that's actually a word and that
it's possible to capture that sort of thing.

It's awfully difficult to be smug and clever when your standing in front
of a desk full of books about the "new" programming language you've just
discovered.

All those books and nary a MVC web framework in sight! Makes me wonder
what the next four years has in store for the Ruby community...
