I was thinking about that a lot after hearing the presentation, as well. Ed, I’m curious to hear more of your thoughts about embracing the boundaries between software development and libraries.

I was there too and also noticed 20.years.from_now and that is exactly what I don't like in ruby. While it reads nice, the danger I see here is that someone does not only need to learn ruby to understand the code in rails they also need to learn all the rails languages to understand rails. Someone may argue that this is no diffrenet then learning a projects api's, I hope that to be right but my feeling is that it is not right, expecialy when someone changes builtins to do what they think they should do.

It's nice to see the cross-pollinization of the various dynamic libraries out there (highlighted by reading a Perl guy's view of a meeting between Python and Ruby). Good to read your words again. -pate Andy,
