If they don't know who Matz is, are they likely to know who Yukihiro Matsumoto is?
EDIT: Interesting fact: I believe this is now my most downvoted comment in five years on HN, at effectively -7. Never would have guessed. I'm not exactly sure what it says, but I thought it was an interesting data point.
- louthy 12y agoNo, but the sentence as a whole does explain who he is: "Yukihiro Matsumoto, creator of Ruby"
- sandstrom 12y agoProbably not, but the epithet `creator of Ruby` gives more context.
- kaeluka 12y agoI, for one, remember the full name but not "Matz"
- lfender6445 12y agoI agree with you chc. I've been using ruby for 3 years and would not have been able to retrieve first name from memory!
