In several years of using it commercially, I have never met a C coder
who couldn't *easily* pick up Ruby.  Should I post some links to good
tutorials?

It's just that to most people, programming in C is hugely more subtle,
more complicated, and potentially more dangerous that writing Ruby.
Though we are talking about *Steve's* Ruby... ;)

Is the OO-ness of Ruby the stumbling block?
