Smalltalk and Perl collide nicely :-)  I've stopped using Perl for 
most things.....

A bit of Ruby/Python trivia: Ruby users outnumber Python users in 
Japan, Ruby's originating country.  Curious: isn't Python originating 
from Italy?

It's not as obscure as you might think - it really IS a rising star.  
Ruby is now included in most Linux distributions, has a book 
published by O'Reilly Japan (with an English version to follow..... 
when?) and another book in the U.S. published by Addison-Wesley.

If you like OO, you'll love Ruby....
