It's cool that it changed the way you approach writing code, but it's more than a little presumptuous to go and apply that experience beyond yourself. I'm sorry

It's cool that it changed the way you approach writing code, but it's more than a little presumptuous to go and apply that experience beyond yourself. I'm sorry if I didn't see much in ruby that I hadn't already seen, it's not as though ruby is pushing through a new paradigm.
Certainly the "ah-ha" moment for ruby was much less intense than my ah-ha moment of Lisp, Python, SmallTalk and Erlang. And it's definitely more straight forward to me than Haskell, Prolog, OCAML or Forth.
That's just the reality of it.
