Inside Ruby there is a small, beautiful language struggling to get out.
It is called Smalltalk.

You don't want optional type systems. You want optional type signatures. Optional typing is an incoherent concept.

Dennis Ritchie invented C, the greatest programming language, and Unix, which runs the world.

Only Turing had a greater impact.

git merge or die tryin'

In strong typing we trust.

All of these problems would go away if only we had another dynamically-typed scripting language, you guys.
