The date comparison is incorrect, I believe. The spec says "get the time one month from this very second", but the Ruby implementation gives 30 days from now. I assume it should be "1.month.from_now" and not "30.days.from_now"

If 30 days from now were acceptable then the Python would be:

   >>> import datetime
   >>> datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30)
   datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 3, 19, 21, 52, 769289)
How does one measure such things as "quick to embrace new things" in a language? Or in the community? This instead seems like an unfounded assertion made by the author.

After all, we all know that R programmers quickly embrace the newest statistical analysis methods, and leave Python and Ruby in the dust.
