Brian McCallister wrote an interesting post (as per) explaining web containers.

One interesting point, is that although the topic is aimed at the Java spectrum, Brian uses Ruby as pseudocode in his tale.

The mix of Ruby/YAML is pretty clear, and does the job at getting the message across. This is because of the conciseness of the language. There is no extra crud that you have to put in there (static types, verbose APIs, etc).

So, if we want to write pseudocode in "language X", I think that says a lot. Don't we want our pseudocode to be as close to the metal as possible? Wouldn't it be nice to take that pseudocode and just RUN it? We can :)
