#2I think this is the right move. Thank you to Ruby Core and Matz for stepping up and providing stability to the language and community as a whole.

Matz is a pillar. Remember "Matz is nice and so we are nice"? s/nice/nice and responsible/gc.

#4These projects were not Ruby Central’s in the first place. They were stolen for Ruby Central by a Ruby Core insider, HSBT. This is horrible news.
They were stolen from André Arko, Colby Swandale, David Rodríguez, Ellen, Josef Šimánek, Martin Emde and Samuel Giddins.

#5Is this without the consent of Ruby Central? Sounds like some kind of hostile takeover!
Edit: Seems like maybe a hostile take-back actually.

#6This is a fascinating and seemingly unusual development that will look obvious in history.
I find “BDFLs” and open source communities so incredibly interesting. Especially in the context of geopolitics and state entities. Linux!
This stuff is PHD material for sociology and polisci post-grads and I’m so interested in following the progression of history with these types of things.

So what? NPM wasn't originally owned by Microsoft, nor GitHub, but reality moves forward?
As long as Matz is involved, I have a lot of faith things will get better, not worse, unless you have some strong indication of otherwise. If anything, because things will be nicer.

This is a question that I have, HSBT was the one who flipped switches, and it's been unclear to me how those decisions were made.

So it’s okay for Matz to get HSBT to steal people’s open source projects? What if Matz sponsors stole Ruby from him? WTF?

#10Really appreciate Matz stepping up to take on this difficult situation.
As a Japanese developer, I’ve been worried about the direction things were going, so it’s reassuring to see this.
