Who does it alienate? Certainly not the mainstream. I've linked his (poignant) guide to friends who aren't big programming types, and they all fell in love with it. Isn't that the more important audience as it is? The people who want to fall in love with programming but haven't yet?
- gaius 18y agoSome people like it, some people say "WTF is this!?" and never look at Ruby again. I'd show WPG to friends but never to "serious" work colleagues.
- unalone 18y agoHmm. That's a shame. It's well-written, easy to follow, and teaches well. I'll never understand the programming mentality that says hard is better just because it excludes people.
