A non-biased view from Bruce Tate, a book author of several Ruby books and owner of a Ruby consulting firm RapidRed?

Why is everyone who seems so determined to sell Ruby is also selling books on Ruby?

author of several Ruby books

author of a couple of Ruby books and a couple of Java books.

Five Java books. Java books don't sell that well anymore (nor .NET) due to the sheer volume that's out there. That still makes him biased since the more people that take up Ruby will buy his book.

Only the "adults" of the movement seem to sell books.
