I read it as a PR piece for Lift.

What's unfortunate is that when Ruby was small and _why's shadow still loomed large, there was the acronym MINASWAN: Matz is nice and so we are nice.

Now that Ruby's gotten bigger, the community's gotten bigger, and friendly small towns don't always become friendly big cities.
