- nevinera 13y agoDefinitely! But the rails community prefers DHHIADSWAD, and I'll let you guess what the letters mean.
- rurounijones 13y agoMINSWAN, you had an Extra I :p In case anyone doesn't know it. "Matz Is Nice So We Are nice." (Matz being the creator of Ruby and generally nice guy.)
- wging 13y agoI guess I wanted it to be Matz Is NIce So We Are Nice because it's more pronounceable.
- regularfry 13y agoMatz Is Nice And So We Are Nice.
- damncabbage 13y agoIt's "Matz Is Nice And So We Are Nice", because MINASWAN is a joke on the Japanese word for "everyone" (minasan). The -swan is like a super-cutesy suffix honorific thing. ... And yeah, it sucks that it feels like it's died a bit. But keep it up anyway; https://twitter.com/tenderlove https://twitter.com/tenderlove is a great example to follow. :)
