> I don't know why Matz always starts his computing/programming journey from 1993 ? Its as if nothing existed before that magical year.

What a strange criticism. On the one hand, he really doesn't talk about specific points in the past very much in this interview. One of the few times that he does, he mentions programming languages designed 50 years ago.

On the other hand, Ruby is the main thing Matz is known for, and the main thing he has focused on. It makes sense that his observations about computing would be tied to his experience with Ruby.
