Last night I cloned the Rubinius git repository to start playing with it. I really love how easy it is to build everything with Rake (and this is also easy for Shoes, but that’s another love story I’ll soon go back to), but soon (well, after my iBook stopped churning atoms to compile everything) I stumbled into a little bug:

a gem was not installed due to a missing directory.

Hence my first contribution to the Rubinius code base.

Anyway, I did not post this to brag about it (how possibly come I’d brag about an added mkdir_p?) but to share the satisfaction you have when you contribute to something bigger ;)
