I'm very sorry, Lex. You've come to the Ruby mailing list at a difficult time;
new users are using their summer hours to try out Ruby for the first timend
the power users are off on beaches enjoying their time away from work.
I feel like I check the mailing list fairly regularly, but unfortunately I
missed your post on the day you posted it. I'm sure many others who would
normally have been interested by your post were in similar situations.
Unfortunately the board has been seeing increasing amounts of spam sneak in
recently, and us board regulars have been forced to skim the titles and make
judgment calls as to what to spend our time reading.
While I am in no way an icon of the Ruby community, allow me to personally
welcome you. This is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people, and I would
hate for a sour introduction like this to affect your opinions on us as aroup.
I did take your time to read your post and the attached code -- nice work! I
like how you brought recursion into it. I hope your co-workers were interested
and not put off, but it seems from the situation alone that they're open-minded
people.
I hope you continue to code in Ruby and make your presence on this list
stronger. We can always use some more bright minds that are contributing to the
community instead of asking us to do Google searches for them.
-Dana
P.S. Try Python if you want to or haven't. It's a great language. Most everyone
here has dipped their toes in both languages, and if you're a true Rubyist, I
trust we'll be seeing more from you here.
