I don't have as much to say about Ruby, because I've never actually used it. I like it a lot conceptually, since it marries the Smalltalk object model with some Lispy sensibilities. However, you've already seen some of my concerns about the language and its current implementation. I also don't like the fact that blocks are relegated to the final argument position, and have some odd quirks compared to their Smalltalk counterparts. I think Ruby has the potential to be very fun, though; perhaps more so than Python, and far more so than Perl, which I can only hate because of the mess that it is. I will probably learn a bit of it myself, sometime, someday, if its current popularity trend holds.
What's wrong with blocks being the last arg? How would you prefer it (don't know how smalltalk does it)? Thanks Levi, -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
