"But many of us are also fans of GitHub, and recognize that there is a great community of developers there (particularly in the ruby community)", that's an interesting comment. Does Google care about Ruby?
- sudonim 15y agoNo, but google wants to dismiss github as being viable for communities outside of ruby. Especially when they compete with github on some level.
- tjohns 15y agoYes, we do. :) While it doesn't get as much use as other languages internally, there certainly are a number of in-house projects that use it. But more importantly, developers accessing our public APIs use Ruby. We maintain a number of client libraries to make accessing our APIs easier. (We also maintain similar libraries in Objective-C and C#, for example.) Not to mention that Sketchup uses Ruby for scripting: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/ http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/
