Actually, the content of Conrad's referenced post (excepting the Ruby
advocacy) appears to be taken verbatim from Adam Turoff's excellent p5p mtg
notes, at:

No knock at Conrad, but it could have been attributed better.

I certainly wish them well!  In my experience, projects that aim to expand
functionality while reducing size and increasing speed are doomed to succeed
