It was just a joke, no offense intended. Apologies to any Rubyist who was offended.

I love Ruby. I don't really like Python as much (Python and I have irreconcilable philosophical and code-formatting differences). I was not offended.

I was, however, saddened by the fact that almost every single time I've seen a Pythonista talk about how nice Pythonistas are, the comment has included a dig at people who use other languages like that. The probability seems to run in the 90%+ range.

I don't think anyone was offended, but it's exactly the sort of thing some people like to jump on and say, "See? See? That's what I'm talking about!"
