Small announcement: Ruby R0XXORS.

[elfs]

Ruby is officially cool. Even without Rails, I can totally see how this language could become addictive fast. I barely speak the language and am desperately thumbing through the nutshell book at warp speed and I manage to write a better, faster, and more secure version of Narrator, this one obeying the principle of "configuration, not integration!", in less than half an hour.

That's totally cool. The only question remaining is simple: does the lack of an interim on-disk format cause a performance hit compared to the python version?
