See the amount of people complaining about the missing spec for Ruby in this thread, which is his doing. At some point ~50% of the comments here were downvoted.

I should clarify that I meant Ruby the implementation, not Ruby the language.

Edit: I changed the word to "some", maybe that was a bit of a hyperbole. I see quite some unreflected bashing though.



Matz worked on a spec for the Ruby language, which is now an ISO standard: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_...


Thanks, Yehuda. I am very much aware of that, but that fact doesn't change people from complaining.

You of all people should be aware that the spec is extracted from the implementation far after the language got popular, which is _exactly_ what people are complaining about.
