No discuss, Perl doesn't even have real classes.

Which is why it is superior.
The only classes a man needs are character classes.

As long as that man doesn't write real programs, yes.

Ruby is flawed. Perl is crap. Use C for your scripting needs. Or better yet, some kind of Scheme or Lisp.

How is Ruby flawed? Do Scheme or Lisp have the libs that Ruby has?

perl is crap of you use it for tasks is was not designed to do from the beggining.

Ruby is healthy and stong, while Perl has AIDS and needs life support machines to keep him breathing.

Proofs that he regrets them? I've found only this:
http://fredwu.me/post/36493181321/an-interview-with-yukihiro-matz-matsumoto

Zhou: Looking back, is there anything in Ruby you wish you did differently?
Matz: In the beginning my goal was to replace Perl as my tool therefore I have borrowed many ideas from Perl, such as using the dollar sign ($) to indicate special variables. Looking at it now it seems to be a little bit too much and too similar to Perl. There are a few other things but mainly I think it is too similar to Perl. Back then before the ruby idioms were formed, there were many things that were borrowed from Perl - nowadays I think many of them weren’t necessary thanks to the ruby and rails idioms.

Ruby. I hate it how you need to put $ in front of every scalar variable in Perl. Also, Ruby looks nicer. Both are pretty powerful languages.

53-bits integers and 1-based arrays are puke-worthy.

don't forget about the slowness of "integers" (since they're floats)

What about Python?

It is unanimously acknowledged as shit for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
* the Forced Indentation of Code
* Slow by design
* Crippled lambdas and functional programming support in general
* Declaration is assignment, assignment is declaration
* Version hell

Declaration is assignment, assignment is declaration
Actually, that is the defining feature of a scripting™ language.

It isn't unique to Python or Ruby. It all started with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoc_%28programming_language%29

i think rubies are worth more than pearls.

I'm fairly sure Ruby is slower than Python, forced indentation is annoying but still a good practice.
Version hell is an annoyance tho, I'll agree with that

I'm pretty sure such an "invention" predates 1984, try perhaps BASIC.

Name: Anonymous 2013-06-27 22:51

>>21
Basic has "Dim VariableName As VariableType"

And Visual Basic is just a clone of Pascal.

DIM was originally for changing the default number of array elements upon initial array element assignment, after all its called "DIM" for "DIMensioning", I believe it got that keyword from FORTRAN which also allowed for implicit declarations. Oh wow, the first high level language in existence also allowed you to "assign without declaration". Your plan 9 daddy didn't actually invent something. Oh no!
