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.
Kotlin
The diplomat who made peace between Java and good taste. Kotlin looked at decades of JVM pain and said 'what if we just... didn't do that?' and everyone agreed.
