## Vision statement: BioRuby is about beauty

Ruby is a language that encourages writing 'beautiful code'. RoR is often 
praised for its solutions and minimalism. It is no accident that many new ideas
in agile software development are quickly taken up, or even originate in the
the Ruby community. For example Cucumber feature DSL is a typical Ruby idea.
BioRuby, however, shows little of this excitement. Let us have more focus
on beautiful code and taking up behaviour driven development. 

Realisation: 

We should show many examples on how to design software properly, and redesign
BioRuby to match that expectation.
