Explicitly listing these two languages (Java and Ruby), and just as
explicitly leaving Python out of the list of languages, makes this sentence
appear quite inimical to the Python community, by making it clear that the
Python language is NOT a "first-class citizen" from your point of view when
compared to Java and Ruby.  Please go spam mailing lists that are devoted to
the communities you list, and stop spamming lists devoted to languages you
so blatantly exclude from your purview.
