Hi Matz, I just watched your Keynote from Rubyconf 2010, which is great by the way. In it, you talk about the Governement-sponsored work you are going to do, which you call Rite. I was wondering if the development is going to happen in private, or if you have any plans you are going to make public before release ? Is the development going to benefit the current MRI, for example in terms of cleaning the language from it's irregularities, or syntax simplification. I think it would be great if Ruby 2.0 could be influenced by the work you are going to do on Rite, and reversely, so as to minimize divergences. Sorry if I am asking too much questions. I have been using Ruby for 6 years now, and I decided it's time I contribute back to this wonderful language. There is so much things I would like to do.. I'm too late in the game, which is why I might sound a bit too pressing :) /----\ Cheers ! \ / \/
