I had a fork a long time ago solely to allow the use of "?" in function-names. Writing:
function alive?
... blah
end
Is so much more natural, after being exposed to ruby. But maintaining forks is hard, so I've slowly gotten use to the standard.
It's a shame that the development is so conservative, and closed, but despite that it is a great language to play with.
