So I'm wandering along the internet highways trying to find an example of how to use collections and iterators in Java and I discover what looks to be an interesting page, but it has some odd syntax.

I search a little deeper and its coded in Ruby.... Ruby? What's that? Well its
an "interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable."

(taken from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020101.html)

I'm rather impressed that I've managed to find out about a new language. Sure the true geeks (I'm looking at you

barty and

themadone) probably already know about it but still I've never heard of it and that's what matters to me.
