	Ruby programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ruby is said to follow the principle of least surprise (POLS), meaning that the language typically behaves intuitively or as the programmer assumes it should.
		Ruby has been described as a multi-paradigm programming language: it allows you to program procedurally (defining functions/variables outside classes makes them part of the root, 'self' Object), with object orientation (everything is an object) or functionally (it has anonymous functions, closures, and continuations; statements all have values, and functions return the last evaluation).
		Ruby is distributed disjointedly under the free and open source licenses GPL and Ruby License [3].

	Cetus Links: 16604 Links on Objects and Components / Ruby
		Ruby is an exciting, new, pure, modern object-oriented language, combining elements of Perl, Smalltalk, and Scheme in a simple yet powerful syntax.
		Ruby is: (1) powerful -- Ruby combines the pure object-oriented power of the classic OO language Smalltalk with the expressiveness and convenience of a scripting language such as Perl.
		Ruby programs are compact, yet very readable and maintainable; you can get a lot done in a few lines, without being cryptic.

	Programming Language Comparison
		Ruby lies somewhere in between the two approaches by allowing a class to inherit from only one class but also allowing a class to "mix in" the implementation of an arbitrary number of modules.
		Smalltalk and Ruby support the most advanced notion of class variables and methods, due to their use of meta-classes and the fact that even classes are objects in these languages.
		The Capers Jones Language Level is a study that attempts to identify the number of source lines of code is necessary in a given language to implement a single function point.

	Introduction to the Ruby Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		We don't use Ruby much (yet?) at Oasis Digital, but there are some interesting and useful ideas in it; I recommend looking it to expand your exposure to what's possible in language design, even if you don't need or plan to use yet another scripting language.
		Ruby is a GC language. You only allocate memory, never explicitly free it.
		Ruby is pervasively OO, while Perl supports OO in addition to everything else.

	The Philosophy of Ruby
		Yukihiro Matsumoto, the creator of the Ruby programming language, talks with Bill Venners about Ruby's design philosophy, including design imperfection, the danger of orthogonality, and the importance of the human in computer endeavors.
		Ruby is an object-oriented language suitable for writing day to day scripts as well as full-scale applications.
		In this interview, which will be published in multiple installments on Artima.com, Yukihiro Matsumoto discusses Ruby's design philosopy, the features of the Ruby language, and becoming a better programmer.

		Ruby truly is. It manages to combine the most important emergent programming techniques (e.g., iterators, closures, list comprehensions [although that actually dates back to the early 1960s, viz., LISP's "MAPCAR"]) into a thoughtfully conceived syntactic structure.
		Ruby is more accessible and easier to pick up than Python, Perl, or Java, with a cleaner, more intuitive design.
		The Ruby Way is probably the next book - loaded with great algorithms you can jump right into when you know exactly what you're looking for - but I really like this book better for language basics.

	Ruby: Productive Programming Language \| Linux Journal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Ruby was developed after 1994 and does not carry the baggage of Perl and Python; it is the new kid on the block.
		Ruby may not be a new paradigm, nor represent a new generation, but it combines the best of many programming languages and takes productivity to a new level.
		Ruby has tempted me a few times for different reasons: the main one just due to the very visible large amount of activity around the language (the rapid proliferation of modules and whatnot).

		Ruby is far more intuitive than Perl or Objective C or /* cough gurgle choke */ "AppleScript" -- with a few puzzling exceptions, you can go from concept to execution about as fast as you can type.

	Slashdot \| Programming in the Ruby Language
		With every new language, there are years of extending the language, finding and curing the bugs, and wrestling with incompatibility problems.
		The overall value of a language is the value of the language itself, plus the quality of documentation of the language.
		IMHO when you learn your second language is when you start to 'get it' about what is an essential feature, and what is an accident of syntax or history in programming.
