Initial impressions of Ruby

Ruby is lol Object Oriented. That's why you can do -5.abs. In Java you would have to do Math.abs(-5), but Ruby is lol Object Oriented so you don't have to do that shit.

Unless you want to do say 1012.log10. Sorry, seems you have to do Math.log10(1012) after all.

I rather like that approach, though it takes an unusual mathematical background to appreciate, and having to use explicit blocks is ugly -- I'll take functional programming over blocks any day.

But the point of this thread is just a reaction to the boasting of the Ruby fanboys.
