WTF? Look at the BNFs for each language: Java is NOT simpler than Ruby.

Come on, someone stop commenting on the religion question and answer this one.

The closest thing I found was on http://outerbody.com/ruby/ruby-man-1.4/syntax.html #operator,
which seems to say that in Ruby one can do
foo(*[1,2,3])
instead of
foo(1,2,3)
From what I can tell, in Ruby [] is the standard make-a-list operator, and lists in Ruby seem to operate similarly to lists in Python and array references in perl.

However, this doesn't seem like anything new to perl; doing
foo(@array)
is the same as calling foo with each of the elements of @array as arguments. If $a is an array reference, this becomes:
foo(@$a)
So I don't think that this Ruby operator is what was meant.

You can check out the site, the code and the thing at work.

Pretty neat! There are also some nice Ruby resources at the same site.
