in thread Why do nodes with minimal value get upvoted most?

Yes, I think you've just proved Fletch's point quite nicely. The point was Ruby's relative immaturity - relative to Perl, of course. The fact that Ruby was born when Perl was already in it's 4th incarnation means that Ruby is immature relative to Perl.
