Keynote Address
summary
Claims Ruby can cover roughly 80% true language needs by favoring productivity, internal DSLs and dynamism; evidence: Rails and RSpec as working internal DSLs, lambdas and Enumerator already added to Ruby, and a Ruby-based slide tool Rabbit (Ruby-based) that handles Unicode. Missing pieces are robust distributed and functional primitives — work on DRb and actor libraries and lazy arrays is underway — so Ruby is close to but not yet the Japet 80% language.
