Here is a diagram with a “family tree” showing the history of programming
languages. Ruby is in there.
It shows Ruby cross-polinating from Perl, Eiffel, Smalltalk, and Python.
The author also has diagrams for the history of Unix and Windows. The
Unix one is very impressive. Unix is truly a diverse family.
Cheers,

Has Ruby really been around since February 1993?
If so, was anything done this past February to celebrate?

Hi –
Has Ruby really been around since February 1993?
Yes.
If so, was anything done this past February to celebrate?
The tenth birthday was noted here and on some of the Ruby websites. I
don’t know whether there were any official parties

BTW: has anyone (except me) thought that Matz should have an award?
