About the conference
FutureRuby isn't a Ruby conference, but a conference for Rubyists. This is a call to order - a congress of the curious characters that drew us to this community in the first place. We have a singular opportunity to express a long-term vision, a future where Ruby drives creativity and prosperity without being dampened by partisan politics.

    It floors me that such a reaction comes from technical people. We should always be looking at how technology can be democratized -- which is what Intentional, Subtext, and this fellow are aiming for. What is so bla bla about it? To me, it is a rallying cry for our industry to stop pretending like we have all the answers (e.g. programs as text), grow up a little and be innovative.
