Cult of personality, Heow is a local(NYC) lisp luminary.
Yes, that sounds like a good headline for a Ruby blog: A director of
the ALU board builds his websites using Ruby because obviously you
can't do that in Lisp. I still fail to see why this is relevant to
c.l.l. But maybe that's just me...

One would hope this means that Heow is going to talk about Lisp as
well, although that's far from clear from the post. Then again, when
Pascal talked about his AOP stuff at the Munich Lisp Group, the
audience was about 1/2 people advocating tiny language cores and
static typing ... so, uh, if this Ruby group is as full of Rubyers
(Rubans? Rubes?) as MUCLisp was full of Lispers ... it might make
sense?

Hey, I didn't talk about AOP back then! ;)
