Ruby is in Grave Danger!

From: Gregory Brown on 11 Aug 2010 16:35 Dear Friends, I have received an ominous message from the future. We should take this seriously, as it could determine the fate of our Ruby lives as we know them! Decrypted future-message below: --- The evil #COBOTS have taken over the programming world and aim to rule it with an iron fist. The #COBOTS started by capturing all of the world's rubies, sucking the life force out of YARV, MRI, Rubinius, and even their former enterprise ally JRuby. Soon after this initial attack on pleasant coding, all dynamic languages fell to a similar fate. As their lust for CPU cycles deepened, the #COBOTS took away the parentheses from Lispers in their ivory towers, and even shattered the beloved curly braces of the mighty C hackers. With all other languages crushed under their robotic corporate might, the #COBOTS seemingly had thrust the world into yet another dark age of COBOL programming. That was, until the Ruby Resistance began to form. Hiding beneath a fallen code block, heroic and daring Matz was able to escape from the initial strike. Taking life one object at a time, he began to rebuild his community by teaching them the forgotten language of the elders. Soon after, brave men and women of all ages began to re-learn what it meant to be a Rubyist, and together, became the Ruby Resistance. The call to action is simple: Commandeer as many evil #COBOTS as possible, re-program them, and take back the world's rubies. It is the only way to ensure programmer happiness for ourselves and the generations of hackers to come. Will you rise to the challenge?

As long I can use ScreenIO: http://www.screenio.com/ Which, btw, have better Windows support than Ruby... Where is the CVS repository so I can checkout a copy of the #COBOTS? -- Luis Lavena
From: Joseph E. Savard on 11 Aug 2010 16:42 LOL... Ruby Take back?? Its not old enough to take back.. Is taking all it can get and jumping into embedded worlds not yet seen. Expanding, growing and engulfing is what it's been under with the siege of Rails forging a bright and positive future. So, don't worry you message is from an imposter, most like Duke from the future. Now, his future is grim...:-) Cheers, j > From: Gregory Brown <gregory.t.brown(a)gmail.com> > Reply-To: <ruby-talk(a)ruby-lang.org> > Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:35:57 +0900 > To: ruby-talk ML <ruby-talk(a)ruby-lang.org> > Subject: Ruby is in Grave Danger! > > Dear Friends, > > I have received an ominous message from the future.

We are working hard to identify an exact date, more on that soon. > Expanding, growing and engulfing is what it's been under with the siege of > Rails forging a bright and positive future. > > So, don't worry you message is from an imposter, most like Duke from the > future. Now, his future is grim...:-) We have it on good authority that this message is legit. I know it sounds crazy but I would not put my reputation on the line for such silly gags! -greg
