Whatever Happened to _Why?

If I had to point to the one singular reason I moved over from Java and PHP to Ruby a few years back... Alright, I have to admit that it'd probably be Rails, which at the time had just turned 1.0 and was, well, a pretty amazing seachange for me. But it was only when I read _Why the Lucky Stiff's "Poignant Guide to Ruby" that I really fell in love with the language, its community, and really felt like there was something other than "just another programming language" here.
