I don't know, but if the secret to PHP's enormous success is its foolish philosophy then the Ruby community needs more fools. There is one thing to observe here: Ruby will not become as widespread or as popular as Perl, PHP, or Java without also becoming as unfashionable as Perl, PHP, and Java. When an invention becomes successful and established, eventually everyone comes to take its good parts for granted, while its flaws become famous and are an eternal topic of discussion.
