Character Sketches
Ruby
The poet who became a startup founder. Matz designed Ruby explicitly to maximize programmer happiness, and it shows. Everything is an object, every expression returns a value, and blocks let you express ideas with a rhythm that feels literary.
Haskell
The beautifully dressed philosopher who can't find their car keys. Haskell writes the most elegant code in any language, then spends 45 minutes explaining why IO is actually a monad.
