Interview with Yukihiro Matsumoto (inventor of Ruby)
---
Bill Venners: "Allowing programmers to write code that's concise and
succinct is one way to make them happy"

Yukihiro Matsumoto: "Yes, so they can concentrate on the problem
itself. Sometimes people jot down pseudo-code on paper. If that
pseudo-code runs directly on their computers, it's best, isn't it?
Ruby tries to be like that, like pseudo-code that runs. Python people
say that too."
