Eric mailed me last night with an article about how Ruby book sales had surpassed Perl. Wow, that's cool. It's funny how three years ago I had to beg, plead and fight to use Ruby in Code Generation in Action. And when I went around to talk it up it would be to packed houses of, mmm... ten or less. Now Ruby has exploded and the feedback I'm getting is that I should have written more books in Ruby.
I used to have to hide the fact that the book was in Ruby, now it's a selling point. I can't seem to get the timing right on this stuff. I think Code Generation in Action would be embraced today. A book about how to use Ruby to accelerate your development in other languages using active code generation. How cool is that?
Just way ahead of it's time.
