That's certainly not an uncommon impression. That cockiness has helped Rubyists approach a lot of problems with a fresh eye, but of course it has made them seem pretty aloof to many other developer communities. It's hard living in the middle and trying to get Ruby and Java people to get along :) - Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
