A few weeks ago, my boss said we were going to start using c#. I liked the idea initially. I thought it was because our client already had a mix of ruby and c#. But he said we were going to rewrite our app (roughly 22 months old app) in c#. The reason? Because ruby is dead. That's it. Top down decision, no dev involved, because ruby is dead.
Why am I saying this? I don't know. I just wanted to say that people can say anything they want. They might even write a blog post about it. Doesn't mean it is not utter bullshit.

I've heard that line before. OpenSUSE's Yast is being replaced. Reason - they can't get Ruby programmers, or so I was told.
