RubyConf 2005: Part Three
Last night, Matz answered many Roundtable questions with his trademark deadpan wit. It is easy to see how Ruby has the elegance of its creator. Here are some of the questions I found interesting or amusing.
- What language would your children learn first?
- Japanese.
- Have you looked at Rails and what did you think?
- I have watched the video... and I liked it!
- What editor do you use?
- Emacs.
After that I went out for dinner with some Rubyists. Dinner talk was about the virtues of peer programming, ping pong development, and explanations continuations.
I think I saw a why last night. He was covered in foxes and much taller than I had imagined. Obviously he denied being himself when I asked him.

Why? Because I had my Permo-Foxed PowerBook and a CafePress Chunky Bacon shirt on? :) I am still denying it.
