  Flagged because we don't want HN to be associated in any way with the Ruby lunatics ermm I mean community.

    Please don't conflate Ruby and Rails.
    • gaius 17y ago
      That's like saying don't conflate Tcl and Tk.

        No, it's not. The Ruby community has been around since long before Rails was on the scene, and has kept its mostly respectful and curiosity driven attitude for the entire time I've participated. Check the recent archives of ruby-talk, and I think you'll find the discussions rather un-heated, un-brash, and un-pornography-or-no-pornography laden.
