RubyMicrosoft: My colleague John Kordyback pointed out that at the heart of all this is realizing that Ruby is not Yet Another .NET Language but a whole community and attitude to software development. Ruby is a community where open source, agile thinking, and lightweight solutions are deeply ingrained values. He says a common problem in Redmond is that “They ask me ‘Why is this language important’ rather than ‘Why is this thinking important?’” [Unsurprisingly lucid]
