He usually just stays out of this stuff.

The funny thing about inventing a language you love, is you spend your career writing C rather than actually writing code in the language you love.

He's pretty tight lipped about his opinions. He does seem to get along with DHH and Tobi though, he shared a stage with them at one Rails World...

It's usually conservative religious groups that are culture warriors, so this would be getting what they want
