Google has a series of “tech talks” on YouTube where, presumably, Google gets technological luminaries to come in and give a talk about their work.

Waves: A New Rails-like Web Applications Framework
via Ruby Inside by Peter Cooper on February 29, 2008
Ruby Waves is a new Web application framework for Ruby, developed by Dan Yoder.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for someone (James Golick, specifically) to make a Ruby-specific Reddit.
