- nnq 14y agokudos. Matz is cool but he's the most annoying speaker I've ever heard, his voice literally hurts my ears!
- Udo 14y agoThis was the first time I heard him speak, and I thought it was a really funny and informative delivery. Of course, he has a very thick accent, but he can get his thoughts across pretty well. Being German, I'm used to English presentations so horrible they don't just assault your ears, they try to melt your brain. Some of those I might have delivered myself. This keynote was not one of those. It's always great to actually hear the creator of a project speak, to get a feel for what they're about and what kind of personality they have. I immediately liked Linus Torvalds when I heard him speak, and I was immediately sure that Brendan Eich was not my kind of person to put it mildly. For this reason, I was quite curious to "meet" the guy behind Ruby, even more so because my image of the Ruby community is one of pure abrasiveness and arrogance. So, Matz is nice and funny. I'm glad I watched that.
- evilduck 14y agoHe's basically the same personality if you ever meet him in person, it's not a stage act for the presentation.
- pvh 14y agoThere is a saying among the best, most wonderful kind of people in the Ruby community: "We are nice because Matz is nice." If you've had different experiences, I'm very sad to hear that!
- yxhuvud 14y agoActually, his accent is a lot better than that of any other member of the core Ruby team I've heard speak. Probably due to more practice..
