von Neumanns long farewell - An excellent little blog post about how we are moving from programming languages that are designed around what the computer needs to languages that are designed around what is more natural for humans. Ruby was designed from the ground up to be a language that was fun for people to program in, and it shows. The future will bring more and more languages and systems like this, that try and make designing things fun. That's neat.
