Bio

Ryan Davis is an object-oriented languages bigot. He cut his teeth on Smalltalk, which made him a really bad C programmer. He got into Ruby when it came around in 2000 because "it just felt right." Ryan is a hacker in the true, positive sense: He spends a lot of time writing code and the Ruby community is all the better for that fact.
