My favorite memory of Dave Thomas

It was an off-hand comment by Dave Thomas in some mailing list that caused me to check out the Ruby programming language. I was in the midst of my 3rd attempt to pick up Python, and that attempt was suddenly aborted upon discovering Ruby.

My favorite memory of Dave just happened

I just finished the Pragmiatic Studio “Ruby on Rails” training taught by Dave, and Mike Clarke. I forget how it came up but as it often does someone mentioned Java to which Dave replied (paraphrasing someone else he could not recall specifically) that “Java is the blunt, rounded scissors of programming languages.” I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
