This article and Tim's are both a little long-winded. All that is happening here is a discussion about when to hold ruby conferences: on weekdays so the pros can go, or on weekends so hobbyists can go.

I am a bit put off by the zealotry of the ruby camp (i.e. The Ruby Way, why_'s midnight genius). Ruby is an interpreter. There are lots of them. When you boil it down, there are lots with similar capabilities, so it comes down to a preference on which to choose.

I want a choice between interpreters, and not a choice on which cult to join.

That's "_why". Not "why_".

You're never gonna get into the club at that rate. ;)

Thanks for the correction

Yeah, good point, but _why's idiosyncratic writing is wacky fun.

Cult?
