Nice.

class Sedlmayr
  attr_reader :release_date

  def initialize
    @gender = 'unknown'
    @name = 'unknown'
    @release_date = "23rd October 2012"

My ruby contribution for your new arrival. Working on a version in Haskell as we speak.

You're missing this...

<?php
private $_takesAfter;
public function setTakesAfter($parent)
{
    $this->_takesAfter = $parent;
}

Then we can hope that:

<?php
$baby = new Sedlmayr();
$baby->setTakesAfter('Anne');

:-)

Congratulations my friend, you'll both make epic parents I've no doubt.
