What traffic do you get when mentioned by several Ruby authorities?

It looks like my latest blog post, A diagram of the Ruby Core object model, has had quite a bit of a success in the Ruby community. Mostly in the educational sphere, with Ruby beginners (the targeted audience), but also teachers!

It casually begins with a decent score on Reddit:

Then, the unexpected happens: I get retweeted by Matz, the creator of Ruby! I can die in peace now. Minaswan.

Finally, two weeks later, my post gets mentioned in the famous Ruby Weekly newsletter! Definitely a lot of traffic coming from there.

In terms of metrics, in two weeks, I had 5000 hits, 70 related tweets, and a couple of new followers and e-mail messages.

Overall, I am surprised and humbled by the attention this post had. It looks like people want more of this kind of visual explanations: I admit it lacks a bit on the Internet.
