Great post, I think more people need to post deep analysis on fundamentals like this. I've been programming in Ruby for the last 9 months, and like the blog post assumed, I had no idea what the real difference was between the symbols and strings. Likewise, I think there are a lot of subjects like this that the majority of web "hackers" just don't understand. Awesome post and if there are other Ruby ninjas out there, please copy this style, it's really helpful to the community at large. I would write this to you, Robert, if you had a comment section, but you don't. So I'm just going to leave it here on HN.
