BLOOM language for distributed programming (BOOM project)

Bloom, Boom, Bud, Overlog, Dedalus. Lot of new things here (for me at least).

But (not flaming, just asking) why Ruby? Is that a good choice for this project, or is it just research anyway so it doesn't matter?

My interpretation is that they have chosen Ruby explicitly in order to validate the general approach and to make understanding it tractable to the average practitioner i.e. a programmer doesn't have to learn a new language to learn a new paradigm.

I must have a mental issue as I get happy when I see prolog/datalog derivatives and unhappy when I see ruby-like stuff. I might be very lonely in that regard :)
