So if somebody outside the Ruby community is interested in our tools, you don't think anyone inside the Ruby community should help them learn about, adopt, or build on what we do? In what sense is that not insular? In what way is helping people outside the community not "cool"? If I stop playing devil's advocate for two seconds, I think you're trying to say something like this: Ruby isn't going to die if it doesn't get "enterprise" adoption. Quit worrying about it, and keep working on what you love. I suspect everyone here would agree with that. Sure, Charles Nutter wouldn't, but JRuby is his baby and every parent thinks their baby is special. - Pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
