Recap of the October meeting

The October meeting actually took place in November. Jason talked a little bit about Qt bindings for Ruby. Shashank talked a little bit about RubyConf. I talked a little bit about Croquet, which led to me and Shashank trying to explain Smalltalk to Jason. Shashank demoed (sort of) the proposed new runtime for Ruby (YAVM?). Jason left with a simplistic explanation of what Rails is; Shashank left with instructions for how to convert Postscript files to PDFs; and I left with the feeling that, while Java pays the mortgage, I'd have a lot more fun writing Ruby.
