Beautiful. Nice Work.

I was wondering… why very precisely 20H UTC ? email is highly async, it’s not as if it were an IRC gathering. Oh, it’s about time. /me checks

I think it would be better if the links in the right menu where boxes like the links in the top menu. Good work, it is very pretty. :-)

mfp: Out of respect. For us. And our times.

Hi, where can I find a list of the colors used for the beatiful syntax highlighting?

In the stylesheet:

#code .keyword {
  color: #f9bb00;
}
#code .comment {
  color: #428bdd;
}
#code .string {
  color: #00cc00;
}

The background is an image, but it looks like it’s #22344a.

I really like the look of it. All I would change would be to slim the headers down a bit.

The ruby gem gif is gorgeous and would be just as lovely at about 1/3 of its current height.

Damn you and your announcing!

My Announcement

At least I posted mine earlier…:P

oooo oooo! The code sample is soooo ooooo oooooo much better.

I love it!

Hmmmm.. Wait a second. The first time I went, the code sample was nice and lean, without all the extraneous class stuff (which might turn some people off). Now it’s showing the old, bulky Greeter class (which is fine code, but I know I judge a new language partially by how many firey rings I nead to leap through to create “Hello World”. I’m sure others judge new languages in a similar manner, and I’d hate for them to be put off by the Greeter)...

Maybe it’s rotating, but I hit refresh about thirty times and couldn’t get the new, sleek code to load… :-/

Oh phew! It is rotating. I just saw this when I checked the site again:

1. The famous Hello World
2. program is trivial in
3. Ruby. You don’t need: #
4. * a “main” method
5. * newline escapes
6. * semicolons #
7. Here’s the code:

puts “Hello World!”

Simple beauty.

Hm.. how about a picture of matz without the redeye / akame thing going on?

http://new.ruby-lang.org/en/about/

Well, I guess it’s decided now that the Gem is the official logo * sniff * no Ruby-chan :...(

When I click on “Libraries”, there’s only a link to RAA , and none to RubyForge, which is much more popular afaik. What’s the problem?

Don’t leave site suggestions here in the comments.

Oops ^^

The rotating code is good, as the snippets address different targets: the trivial “Hello World” is good for people coming from lower-level languages like C++ and Java; the Greeter class example is good for people coming from perl and python. The Greeter class is very non-bulky, especially compared with perl:

 package Greeter;
  sub new {
    my $self  = {};
    my $class = shift;
    my $name  = ucfirst(shift);
    $self->{'name'} = $name;
    bless($self, $class);
    return $self;
  }
  sub salute {
    my $self = shift;
    print "Hello $self->{'name'}!\n";
  }
  my $g = Greeter->new("world");
  $g->salute();

why the new site is so slow? is it on a old server or is the performance of ruby?

I think it’s the Digg effect
