The Ruby Culture

So today I learned an important new thing about Ruby

MINSWAN

(Matz is nice so we are nice)

Matz, or Yukihiro Matsumoto is the creator of Ruby. According to “Legend” Ruby was created to bring joy to programmers. The acronym above is like a mantra in honor of him, and followed by Rubyist around the world.

So from what I hear, Rubyist are generally pretty happy and not so elitist. I have been looking to get involved in the Ruby community, and looking forward to meeting more nice people. As someone new to Ruby, I have to say that this is definitely encouraging. And as an Anthropologist, I have to say that this is extremely interesting.

Can you see some Ruby fieldwork in my future?
