was compared to C/C++ a few years back. But once everything dies down
people will realize that they'll still have to program in C/C++/Perl
for real-world applications.
Python seems better than Ruby from what I can see, but I really don't
like the mandatory indentation thing. Ew..
Rubies are better Perls. That's the only connection between the two. One
day, a Japanese programmer got fed up with Perl, and wrote a better
language (for varying meanings of better).
Its not based or built on Perl in any respect.
Python and Ruby both have the same targets; to speed development time
and increase programmer productivity.
But one must make a Perl before one can make a Ruby. Maybe that was what
I was trying to aim for.
Ruby's nice, but it seems like it's going to be a bit passe in a few
years like Java was for compilable / interpretable languages.

Sorry for all you Java lovers out there.. it's just that from where I'm
at I don't see anyone using it in the workplace (Intel). We're all using
C/C++/Perl, with occasional spots of Ruby/Python.
