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. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
