Does anyone else think it's weird that they decided to make this library in Ruby? It drastically cuts down on the audience. Why not C/C++ with wrappers for all the dynamic languages?
EDIT: nevermind, it makes sense now that I see their main product is a version control system for designers. Still, it would be nice to see this ported to native code some day.

- blt 13y agoI might just accept that challenge!
- zem 13y agoas a programming language fan, i've never found anything as productive as ruby. it may not be the fastest language out there, and it may not have a bunch of static safety guarantees, but for exploratory programming it's pretty much unparalleled. if i were tasked with making a psd reader, i'd definitely do it in ruby first and then port it over to whichever language the client called for.
