After a few days attending to other things, it is time for me to get
back to learning Whimsy.
I can go in either of two directions, Ruby or node.js. Each involves
getting fluent in a programming language in which I've only written tiny
programs, as well as learning my way around Whimsy. Neither language
looks particularly difficult, except perhaps for understanding "this" in
JavaScript's object and class model.
If all of Whimsy gets converted soon to node.js, time spent learning
Ruby would be wasted, and I should go for node.js. On the other hand, if
substantial portions of Whimsy remain in Ruby learning it will
contribute to the bus factor for those parts of Ruby.
Opinions? Any other considerations?
