I think one of the nice things about Ruby is that it's syntactically
similar enough to other C-like languages to be very familiar very
quickly, but doesn't have all the noise - all the brackets and curly
brackets and semi-colons and so on...
Enumerations are nice in Ruby too: myCollection.each_with_index() is nice :)
Of course, one of the good things about OOP is that there are so many
design patterns out there now often you're problem's solved just by
tacking a few patterns together; the hard work has already been done for
you so you only have to concentrate on the specifics rather than
pondering architectures.
