There's some unintentional irony in the slide deck that Sam Ruby posted from his FOSSSL talk. The slides are interesting - it's clear to me that dynamic languages are finally getting noticed by the mainstream. The irony? The fact that, just as one part of IBM (where Sam works) is noticing that dynamic languages are the wave of the future, the part that actually had one on hand is dropping it.
