So, this is already all over the place, but there’s no way I’m off the bandwagon on this one. It’s a historical milestone, for sure. Geoff’s posted a full bigvid of Adam Keys’ one-man show at RejectConf.

He makes Captain Picard’s head bald by just using his hand. Very daring! I hope Pythonistas have as much fun making fun of us as we have whenst picking on them.

One surprising bit of news which came toppling out of RubyConf was Evan Phoenix’s retooling of Ruby into a much smaller interpreter he calls Rubinius. And, in fact, it has now materialized in his repository.

Requires RubyInline and glib. I believe you can alter lib/platform.h if you need to add some CFLAGS or change any paths. (Via zenspider.)
