Guys, his point isn't valid. If you want to write things in C, the current implementation of ruby LETS YOU. That's the whole point of C extensions. You can then ask, why bother writing in Ruby at all, and i think you'll find the answer to be, it's not anywhere near as much of a pain in the ass as writing C is. The elitism argument is bullshit. We don't need fewer people programming. We need better ways to tell if someone knows what the fuck they're doing. In my opinion the tools we use and develop should be as accessible as possible. Anyone should be able to pick them up and get what they need to do, done. Good luck doing that with C.
