Interesting that the guy just picked Ruby to implement on top of .NET,
but really isn't a true proponent of Ruby. He apparently just picked
Ruby as one of the more popular dynamic languages to use for his
compiler project. A bit off topic, but why does Microsoft show all of
these video feeds of interviews when there's no graphs, charts, or
other visual aids? I feel like I'm watching a police interrogation...
