I will share a secret with you – GOOGLE ;-). Searching for “Ruby  
language history” (or  
[Ruby language history - Google Search](http://www.google.com/search?q=Ruby+language+history)) produces the  
following very relevant links:

[http://www.rubycentral.com/faq/rubyfaq.html](http://www.rubycentral.com/faq/rubyfaq.html)

And many many other good resources. In case you hate Google, try Yahoo  
😉

Enjoy,
