You're all fruitcakes. For all the time you all spend blabbering
about what's good and bad about languages, and which ones to learn
and blah blah blah... you could have written a program in each
language and ACTUALLY seen if you like the language or not.

You can't be bothered to figure out that @ means instance variable and
yet you are madly in love with the language that involves __self__,
__init__, __doc__, __etc__? Please.
Most of the things you love about python apply equally to ruby, and
many
people are just as irked by python's syntax quirks as you are by
ruby's.

right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
