Hello everyone, I'm coyo.

I'm a newbie, learning ruby for the first time (my first programming language, in fact)!

I just wanted to say "hello" and see how you guys were doing.

I'm studying hard, trying to get down the syntax and going over tutorials.

I can write simple code now, but I have very high ambitions.

I want to write a P2P instant messenger platform almost completely in ruby, with some java native extensions.

I'm planning on using JRuby, JVM (maybe), SQLite-Ruby, MsgPack, RubyTorrent (for distribution of status updates), and a few other things.

I've got a long way to go, however.

Wish me luck! -- Alex Maurin (coyo)
