I link to it over on The Farm, the developer blog I write for Tucows: Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto’s very interesting slide show, The Power and Philosophy of Ruby.

Whether you’re a programmer or someone interested in how language influences thought (or get turned on by the phrase “Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis”, and hey, who isn’t?), it’s a great read.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m feeling extra-nutty today.

I was just reading about this very topic last weekend.

I think I'm hanging with the wrong crowd.
Very interesting, especially for me at present, as I'm just starting to learn assembly for the first time.
