Team, This community is like reading an encyclopedia. You read and you learn! Last week I learned a bout a guy dropping Ruby and embracing Earth. He is unhappy with the technological world. I guess that’s fine! Today, I learned about the existence of several languages that I never knew were there: cpan which I thought was some kind of pizza! Lua which I thought was some kind of drink parallel to Kalua! Groovy which I thought was some kind of Mexican sauce or gravy! I also learned about an environment named Ramaze which I thought was some kind of oriental soup. We have a soup named Ramen and I thought Ramaze was an improved version of Ramen. BTW, I tried Ramaze and got some errors which I’ll post soon and see if I can get some help! I will look into Lua since I am interested in game programming. Team, please keep it going let’s continue with the fun! ---

I suggest that those inconsiderate people who want to clog up this list with ~talk~ about ~ruby~ (of all things) should prefix their subject line with [ruby] - then we can all go back to sleep. ---

It is nice to read tutorials and getting started guides, but the point comes when you want to get down to serious business. Then you need a language reference.
