Ruby community mourns Jim Weirich

[Posted February 20, 2014 by jake]

The Ruby community is mourning the passing of Jim Weirich, who was a well-known Rubyist and the creator of Rake (Ruby make). A thread on Hacker News has some remembrances of Weirich, as does his last commit on GitHub (fittingly, it was a change to a Rakefile).

The last commit page on github is an amazing tribute. I have never heard of Jim before, but it's very touching. RIP.
