The for loop in C is like the for loop in BASIC, not the for...in loop in Ruby. Ruby's for...in is like the for...in (or foreach) in Perl, PHP, or recent versions of Java.

But for...in just doesn't feel like a good fit for Ruby to me -- it feels more like syntactic sugar for Perl and PHP programmers.
