- udp 16y ago(2011 - 1995) != 18 EDIT: Or is that the point you were making?
- Stormbringer 16y agoFrom the article: "The name "Ruby" was decided on during an online chat session between Matsumoto and Keiju Ishitsuka on February 24, 1993, before any code had been written for the language." (emphasis added) Ruby went public in 95 From Wikipedia: "The first public release of Ruby 0.95 was announced on Japanese domestic newsgroups on December 21, 1995. Subsequently three more versions of Ruby were released in two days." So the original parent's post is much more accurate than your 'correction'.
