Hal sips the Ruby Kool-aid
I’ve long been a fan of Hal Helms. He’s a great teacher, thinker, and “coach” of ColdFusion. I learned a lot of my good coding habits from reading his newsletter. Although I’m not doing much CF anymore, I still read it. In his most recent newsletter, he notes that his study of Ruby is shaping his view of CF. In fact, he’s gleaning from Ruby:
I also began studying Ruby, a language that is unabashedly dynamically typed and fully object-oriented. After being immersed in that heady world for a bit, I emerged to again work with ColdFusion. This time, though, undoubtedly influenced by Ruby, I decided to dispense with the pseudo-strong typing.
Go Hal. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more on this.
