Congrats to Matz...working 11 years on Ruby and counting!

[Richard Kilmer]

For 11 years of composing Ruby -

Matz started Ruby on 24 February 93
His vision for a language where objects were free
For those that embrace Ruby, yielding laughter and joy
For those trapped in other languages, to confuse and annoy

A dash of regexp with blocks to delight
Its all in the recipe that makes Ruby just right
One day we will watch as Rite and Ruby two-dot-o
Change again the landscape of this world that we know

But to the community that embraces change as the norm
Let us continue to build up this tempest to a storm
And further the vision that Matz has begun
Showing the world that programming in Ruby is fun!

Mentioning regexp....

the output is here.. check it out.

heredoc renders nice in mozilla ;-)

Rich, this is very beautiful, you should had said that in your FOSDEM
talk ;-)

Now it converts from Ruby into xhtml 1.0 strict.

Any thoughts about its output?
