"After lunch, Carla Ares and Claudio Zamoszczyk demonstrated how to control Arduino hardware using Ruby – and for those who are interested, Randal Schwartz recently interviewed Massimo Banzi, co-founder of Arduino in the FLOSS Weekly podcast. Evan Phoenix, from Engine Yard, didn’t talk about Rubinius this time, but his talk was nonetheless important because he was pointing out code smells in Ruby (such as using ‘rescue nil’), I think it was very informative. And the first day closed with a video conference with David Hansson himself, answering the audience’s questions. Unfortunately this session had some internet connection drawbacks but all in all I think the audience was able to have a good chat with DHH."
