Never thought about it really, but that would have been the “end” of  
it…

Ruby is Ruby not a copy of others.

By the way: Transmitting Python scripts via Web pages or such alike  
and being urged to cute’n’paste them into an ascii editor (since  
otherwise we git a “Save As” html code … not ascii) is really  
pain since the syntax get burried under “To be space or not to be  
space”…

(“Space wars II…The return of the TAB” or something like that…)

The "End"s are makeing Ruby bullet proof concerning alternate  
transmission ways…may be solid enough to be sent as morse code 🙂

I like ruby due to the fact it is Ruby !

My two cents only…
