Giles Bowkett: What If There Are No Gods?

Filed under: RubyOnRails

Giles Bowkett: What If There Are No Gods? What If There Are No Gods? Couple blog posts I read recently say that Smalltalk is the language of the gods, or that Smalltalk and Lisp are the languages of the gods.

This is an interesting idea, because if Smalltalk and Lisp are the languages of the gods, then surely Ruby is Prometheus, packaging up that holy fire in a way mere mortals can use. However, these statements are much more poetic than true.
