Overheard at RubyConf
October 23, 2006
Herewith, a sparse collection of completely out of context and unattributed quotes I overheard at RubyConf this weekend. Names aren't attached either because I didn't know the person's name or I felt the accuracy of the quote was sketchy. Corrections and additions welcome.
"They're flipping one of the ladies rooms into a mens room for us"
"We decided Ruby wasn't niche enough (queue Erlang movie)"
"I'm not Matz"
"Rubinius has evil built in"
"I hope your minds are sufficiently blown"
"It's ugly, we'll fix it"
"First come, first served, but not right now"
"No cussing; that's so 2005"
"Can you write that code, please?"
"But seriously, who doesn't have this book? (holds up AWDWR book)"
"How many people here understand Unicode (hands go up) to a fairly deep level? (hands go down)"
"YARV will find you a new girl friend"
"We have room for the next 3 alien races in the Unicode plane"
