Just wanted to thank everyone for their work on Ruby.
Here is why I love it:
very descriptive! I can add functions to existing classes and suddenly
String.to_parsed_date works and makes sense.
Blocks--annoying at the beginning, in the end they are priceless as
reducing code usage.
EventMachine--suddenly Ruby works with network apps and doesn't die!
Celestial!
Cool user base :)
Take care.
-Roger

Out of curiosity... what seemed annoying about them, and what was it
that changed your mind (an example, an explanation,...)?

Figuring out what they are at all--I'm passing a block?
syntax for a block. &block
But in retrospect we mostly use them as newbies without knowing what we
are doing, and that's ok.

Isn't a block just something like {} ?

It is, and also do...end
I guess the familiarity of {} with C also helps one integrate to ruby
more easily.
Take care!
