From #rubinius, the royal struggle between syck and RbYAML.
Defiler: re rbyaml also
Defiler: Why aren't we using syck though?
Defiler: rbyaml is totally not compliant with what MRI is expecting to
have happen
drbrain: syck period, or the syck extension from MRI?
Defiler: "Why are we using rbyaml" is what I should have said, I guess
drbrain: Back in Ye Olden Times of Late Last December
drbrain: We had a wrapper for the syck library that was not MRI's syck
extension
drbrain: For in Ye Olden Days, Fair Subtend was not so Fair
drbrain: Thus, a Newcomer was Raised to Ye Throne of YAML
drbrain: RbYAML
drbrain: Now, with the waxing power of Subtend, the MRI syck extension
may reclaim its Rightful Crown
