  • Dear Anonymous Coward.

    No matter if you agree with Ola or not, he is very experienced in a vast variety of languages, and your post taken into account, my guess is, he's a lot brighter that you'd ever dream of becoming, regardless of your level of education.

    Not going into a discussion here about pros and cons of Ruby, Python or JavaScript - all are great languages, but just in case you don't know, Ruby has been around since 1995, so cut the BS about 'almost a decade'.

  • Actually, no. Ruby has been around for 10 years now. While clearly Ruby has lifted many idioms from Perl directly, but OO, it is more than based on Smalltalk.

    As far as Ola Bini, I think you think mistake modesty for lack of experience. Ola is making a presentation since he wrote a book on JRuby. You haven't.
