hi all-

check out the latest sciruby interview

[http://sciruby.codeforpeople.com/sr.cgi/SciRubyInterviews/EdBorasky](http://sciruby.codeforpeople.com/sr.cgi/SciRubyInterviews/EdBorasky)

where ruby-talk local ed borasky explains why ruby isn’t his favourite  
programming language and chalks one in the column of people exploring  
ruby as  
a modeling language.

if you’re doing science with ruby too drop me a line to get a sciruby  
account  
and share you’re stories.

cheers.

Do you need an account to read the article?

I get a “You are not allowed to view this page.” error.

‘You are not allowed to view this page.’

On further investigation, it looks like the interview has disappeared.  
I did find out what his favourite language is, though:

sorry – my mistake! it should be world readable now.

as for accounts on sciruby, you only need one to edit. any current  
member  
can add new members - it’s a six degrees of separation style security  
system.

cheers.
