Derek's award for beautiful coding

Derek Sivers seems to really like the projects I've been involved with for the past nine months:

My award for beautiful coding goes to David Heinemeier Hansson... [Talks about Instiki, Rails, and Basecamp]... Absolutely brilliant. All of it. Did the beautiful language of Ruby inspire his style, or was it just a match meant-to-be?

I can't believe the stuff that David's done, and this is all just in the last 9 months or so!I think he's my new favorite author.

How intensely flattering. Thank you, Derek! And yes, I owe much of it to Ruby. It has indeed unleashed an amazing amount of creative energy. I never, ever thought programming could be this fun, challenging, and capable of teaching me new things daily.

Programming in Ruby inspires you to craft beautiful code. Then mold it further to become more elegant still. I recommend anyone who has the faintest interest in programming to give it a try: Getting started with Ruby (and if you're into web-app programming, you'll want to continue to put Ruby on Rails.

Nice one mate! Why don't you email O'Reilly a Rails book proposal, btw?

Thanks. There are talks. They are not with O'Reilly, but there are talks. Let's leave it at that for now ;)

I plaude to the book idea 8-)

Maybe you could start with a free book online.
With user-editable comments on the pages.
Then polish it and publish it (just like "dive into python").
Then you could start your own publish company.
Make agreements with o'reilly to distribute it here.
Then start paying us for writing books like "Enterprise Messaging with Rails and Jabber4R", "Multimedia Apps with Rails and FlashMX" or "Web Apps For Fun & Profit" (WAFFEP is a great acronym indeed). And subpaying subpeople for translations.

Oh, ok I have to sleep ;)

kiu ni venkis jam multajn gvidistojn -- malsago kaj idiotaj demandoj. Ci tiuj kreitajoj nenion suspektas -- ili tute ne komprenas la sarkasmon. Neniam dum mia vivo mi estis tiel kontenta, tiel trankvila, tiel plena de bena paco, kiel hierau, kiam mi eksciis, ke Mikel-Angelo ne vivas plu. Ni eltiris ci tiun sciigon el nia gvidisto. Li kondukis nin tra mejloj da pentrajoj kaj skulptajoj en la vastaj koridoroj de Vatikano, tra mejloj da pentrajoj kaj skulptajoj en dudek aliaj palacoj; li montris al ni la grandan pentrajon de la Siksta Kapelo kaj freskojn, kiuj suficus por freskigi la tutan cielon, -- preskau cio estis farita de Mikel-Angelo. Ni decidis uzi kontrau li rimedon, per kiu ni venkis jam multajn gvidistojn -- malsago kaj idiotaj demandoj. Ci tiuj kreitajoj nenion suspektas -- ili tute ne komprenas la sarkasmon.
