Joining the team is: Larry Wall, Brendan # Eich, Guido van Rossum, Rasmus Lerdorf, and Jon Udell. # # "I enjoy working with ActiveState on Perl development. They really # believe in the Perl philosophy 'there's more than one way to do it.' # They're in the business of enabling everyone to get the job done," # said Larry Wall, creator of Perl. # # """Python has benefited from ActiveState's contributions to the # community such as ActivePython and Komodo, and their participation # in the Python Software Foundation. I look forward to working with # them,""" said Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python. # # "ActiveState has the vision and understanding of the Mozilla # project. It's great to see an organization with a language/tools # focus developing with the Mozilla framework," stated Brendan Eich, # creator of JavaScript and Architect for Mozilla. # # "ActiveState's efforts with Perl and Python make them well-suited to # provide similar products and services for PHP. I'm pleased to assist # them in their future development," commented Rasmus Lerdorf, creator # of PHP. # # "I've been using and writing about scripting languages for years and # am thrilled to see a critical mass of language inventors at # ActiveState. The knowledge transfer and synergies that will develop # will be a great benefit to the community. I'm excited to be a part # of this," stated Jon Udell, former executive editor Byte. # # "ActiveState has demonstrated insightfulness and leadership by # integrating and enhancing many open source technologies to create # new products and new programming environments, such as Komodo. # ActiveState's ability to recruit these thought leaders to its # advisory board clearly establishes the company as one of the most # important players in high level programming languages," noted # Michael Tiemann, CTO of Red Hat. # # "These language innovators have changed the face of technology with # tens of millions of people using their software. They will have a # profound collective influence on our emerging technologies and on # our goal of making open source languages more accessible to both # casual programmers and the business community," said Dick Hardt, # Founder & CEO of ActiveState. -- Conrad Schneiker (This note is unofficial and subject to improvement without notice.)<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com<br></p> ------ extPart_001_0000_01C0C1DC.4C2B83E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>Is this a Hoax<BR></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message -----</DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt Arial; FONT-COLOR: black"><B>From:</B> Conrad Schneiker</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, April 10, 2001 2:42 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>To:</B> ruby-talk / ruby-lang.org; ruby-talk / netlab.co.jp</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Subject:</B> [ruby-talk:13591] Re: ruby-talk volume info?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>Robert Feldt wrote:<BR><BR>> My inpression is that the volume on ruby-talk has decreased after the rush<BR>> following on Dave and Andy's book and articles last fall.
