It works both ways. Don't you like Ruby? You don't like Ruby. Don't read articles about Ruby!

I for one may use Ruby as a scripting language for my next project, I want to see more articles like this.

Don't read articles about Ruby!

I usually don't! This is an article about Ruby and "LISP". I read articles about Lisp. This one is mistaken, I think, mostly because the author hasn't used Lisp to do much, but writes about it anyway.

But I really don't mean to carp about the article. Ruby makes him happy, that's great.

I see your point. But, please, let's encourage people to write more articles about what they think is right. Even if the article is wrong it's still good that it was written.
