Not that he has any real power here, but has anyone asked Matz what he thinks about all this?

He usually just stays out of this stuff.

The funny thing about inventing a language you love, is you spend your career writing C rather than actually writing code in the language you love.

He's pretty tight lipped about his opinions. He does seem to get along with DHH and Tobi though, he shared a stage with them at one Rails World...

Also I doubt the culture warriors are going to get what they want from Matz, he's a devout Mormon, a religious group known for conservative beliefs.
