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 [livejournal.com profile] barty and [livejournal.com profile] themadone) probably already know about it but still I've never heard of it and that's what matters to me.
