ARTS

As a programmer who also trains in martial arts (Wing Tsun + Escrima + Judo).

I am really interested to know if there are other fellow programmers who also practice martial arts.

Do you practice martial arts? or do you know of programmers who practice martial arts.

Further question:

Do you see any analogy between your art and programming.

[Apologies for the terrible pun in the title :) but I do like it cheesy...]

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
This is a trend I've noticed. There is a very large adoption of ruby from the java community. Is it that c# is such an awesome language + having good tools over java that most c# developers aren't as keen to switching to ruby permanently as java developers are? What are your opinions? >>> More
