ruby is more of a perl than python.
visually, perl and ruby code is stuffed with symbols, python code is more plainly textual.
ruby and perl users both delight in horrific black magic hackery, whereas python users like to be "explicit" and make you pay a __tax__ for __hacking__ that makes your code __ugly__
python is "there is one retarded way to do it"
perl and ruby are "there are many retarded ways to do it"
