What's going on with Hackety Hack anyway? The website still says March 7th, which has, obviously, come and gone.

He's obviously free to release it whenever he feels like it (or never), I'm just curious.

Hackety Hack was demoed at Art and Code as promised. Supposedly, _why's just cleaning up bugs and what not to get it presentable before throwing it out there. I had a friend who helped out with the Art and Code demo and he said it's functionality was really impressive but it was still a bit buggy. I think _why really wants to make a splash with the launch and so is being somewhat conservative with the release.

The 0.7 version isn't too bad. I give it to people who want to learn ruby but don't want to buy a book. There's a simple interactive learning tool that is useful if you've never programmed in your life before.
