Questions Five Ways

I think one of the better ideas I've had on this blog is my Questions Five Ways series. For each post, I'll ask a guiding question of five leading hackers, some from the Ruby community and some from outside it.

So far the questions were about concurrency, code reading, and static code analysis & testing. I understand Pat is interested in hearing suggestion for future topics.

I find the discussion about concurrency interesting. Naturally we have been urging people to look at Erlang for quite awhile, and Haskell parallelism is also a frequent topic here. It is nice to see how these things are becoming more mainstream. It also means it is about time we moved on to new things...

Code reading is, of course, near and dear to me.
