Hi,

I just noticed that Channel9 (Microsoft’s community website – at  
least as far as Microsoft’s definition of “community” goes) posted a  
video interview with Dr. Wayne K., Senior Lecturer at Queensland  
University of Technology and maintainer of [Ruby.NET](http://Ruby.NET). Haven’t watched  
it yet (still downloading), so I can’t comment on the quality.  
(Typically, the interviewers are Microsoft employees and specifically  
C# Windows developers, so when it comes to more esoteric stuff like  
dynamic or functional programming or alternative operating systems  
their questions tend to not be exactly the smartest.)

Interesting that the guy just picked Ruby to implement on top of .NET,  
but really isn’t a true proponent of Ruby. He apparently just picked  
Ruby as one of the more popular dynamic languages to use for his  
compiler project. A bit off topic, but why does Microsoft show all of  
these video feeds of interviews when there’s no graphs, charts, or  
other visual aids? I feel like I’m watching a police interrogation…
