I've not seen this translated anyplace, but the Japanese Ruby site has an announcement about Ruby being bought (yeah, I was surprised, too) by Sun Microsystems; Matz is moving to California!
The purchase takes effect on Christmas; in preparation for Sun ownership, Matz is adding static typing (so it plays better with Java(tm)), and replacing those annoying "end" keywords with significant indentation, a la Python. (You'll get used to it.) The new name will be Ruby 2 Enterprise Edition 3000.
The best part, though, is that James Gosling will be adding an interplanetary navigation library. Pretty sweet!

Did you catch the linked article about YARV? Koichi-San explains how relieved
he is to just let everyone use the JVM, since YARV development
was really starting to get tedious and annoying, having to support all
that dynamic silliness, not to mention all the metaprogramming Ruby allows
which mostly is used by bright developers just to show off. This will
have the immediate benefit of speeding Ruby execution by a factor of twenty
to a hundred, making Ruby much more suitable for general purpose use, and
a real threat to traditional compiled languages such as COBOL, mainframe
assembler and .NET.

I heard that that Hanson guy was putting the band back together for the
MMMBop reunion tour:

Pffft, -waaay- too obvious. I prefer April's Fools jokes that are completely
believable. Setting up hoax sites with fake news articles would gain major
bonus points Possibly an interview with the Sun CEO as a mild giveaway

I think James should have waited to announce this a day later, but it
becomes clear that he writes the truth when thinking about the imprtance the
sun has in Japanese tradation,
what April 2nd already?
Too bad

Hmm, didn't get that one with the original mail...
Amazingly enough, googling for "next generation enterprise ruby" yields
two
Star Trek links in the first ten results. Coincidence? I think not

Do you have enough Data to prove your theory?
