Did you know that Ruby was Matz’ eleventh take on creating a programming language? Listen. So don’t despare next time you fail, you are right on track.

“I sat down and counted the other day and Ruby was eleventh language I’ve tried to write. Out of those 4 only had names, 3 of them didn’t work at all… the rest of them was just experiments. Ruby is the only one that really worked, so I guess that makes Ruby the first one, but it was one out of eleven attempts.” ~ Matz

The road to wisdom? -- Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
           Err
           and err
           and err again
           but less
           and less
           and less.
