RB also has default parameters, something ObjC lacks. They are soooo
handy. RB's also got namespaced constants (via modules/classes).

Obviously you cannot pass parameters to alloc, but you said
"Constructor arguments," and -init is equivalent to a constructor
function.
I've never found setters confusing, maybe you have.
I don't, but some probably do. As I said, I am just playing devil's
advocate. I don't necessarily believe the things I said.
"for each" is pretty cool also. ObjC has no "for each".
Yes, but "for each" is functionally equivalent to an ordinary for loop.
Oh well, I will stop now. Each language has its pros and cons. As Dr.
Steinman said, ObjC and RB are not better or worse than each other,
just different.
