If the ruby script in question does something that has not been done before and that something adds to the efficiency/accuracy of software development, then I say yes, we need more ruby scripts. This functionality is new and hella useful, IMHO.
Jesse said they wanted to make sure that not only the code was stable, but also the libraries were not going to go through lots of updates (like daily updates, which happened when the system was new). The article ran long and that part got cut out:)
She authored the textbooks that were used in universities across the country. These books were written as they went, because the things in the textbooks had never been done before. She wrote them. As in, put pen to paper and wrote the books used in classrooms. Thus, she literally wrote the textbooks on rocket science. And the quote in the article is from the Deputy Director of NASA, who, methinks, understands the definition better than yourself.
Sorry, this comment was meant for the parent. She wrote textbooks in the 50s and 60s and I assume they've been updated by now. Also, did it occur to you that there might actually be more than one textbook on the subject before dissing her? BTW, the quote, as you can see, came from a deputy director of NASA, who would be in a better position to make this comment than yourself.
There most def were textbooks on rocket science, which was a very new thing in the 60s, as the team at NASA (which included Ms. Johnson) were making it up as they went along. Textbooks were needed to teach young scientists so NASA could recruit them. And, you know, to add to the general store of knowledge. Ah, youth.
