Ruby Goes to the Sun

[James Britt]

I've not seen this translated anyplace, but the Japanese Ruby site has
an announcement about Ruby being bought (yeah, I was surprised, too) by
Sun Microsystems; Matz is moving to California!

The purchase takes effect on Christmas; in preparation for Sun
ownership, Matz is adding static typing (so it plays better with
Java(tm)), and replacing those annoying "end" keywords with significant
indentation, a la Python. (You'll get used to it.) The new name will
be Ruby 2 Enterprise Edition 3000.

The best part, though, is that James Gosling will be adding an
interplanetary navigation library. Pretty sweet!

I heard that that Hanson guy was putting the band back together for the
MMMBop reunion tour:

Sadly, that will leave him little time for Rails hacking.

Excellent! I can't wait for Enterprise Ruby Beans!

No, they will have to find a new name, we already have an ERB, eRuby!

I think James should have waited to announce this a day later, but it
becomes clear that he writes the truth when thinking about the imprtance th=
e
sun has in Japanese tradation,
what April 2nd already?
Too bad

Pffft, -waaay- too obvious. I prefer April's Fools jokes that are completel=
y=20
believable. Setting up hoax sites with fake news articles would gain major=

bonus points ;P Possibly an interview with the Sun CEO as a mild giveaway ;P

Hmm, didn't get that one with the original mail...

Amazingly enough, googling for "next generation enterprise ruby" yields two=
