why is the new version of pymate written in ruby?
I don't know jack about ruby -- why should I learn it in order to hack on a tool I use daily while writing python code? come on, we don't want no stinking ruby here!
And we don't want no stinking language war here.
But if you ask it, it's because ruby totally owns python. ;)
Think of it as a young Boy Scout helping a doddering old lady across the street ;-).
More seriously, if you like to hack pymate, why don't you rewrite it before someone else had to do it? Or are you proposing to do it now? If your religion is against using a better tool written in ruby, use the old one. And if you're so picky about the tools you use, I have a bad news for you: TextMate is not written in python.
Oh my God! I thought it was written in all languages and that's what made it so good. You mean it uses some languages to *support* others. Gasp!
