Stewart: I gather you had worked with both Perl and Python before creating Ruby. What bits of Perl did you incorporate in Ruby?
Matz: A lot. Ruby's class library is an object-oriented reorganization of Perl functionality--plus some Smalltalk and Lisp stuff. I used too much I guess. I shouldn't have inherited $_, $&, and the other, ugly style variables.
Other languages strictly borrow from Perl if your knowledge of PLT only extends to Perl. Name competitors that adopt Perl's philosophy. Ruby? No.
On the contrary, Ruby's basic library was designed based off of Perl's, and it follows the "there's more than one way to do it" approach of Perl as well.

The only difference is that, instead of Vogons, now it's algae
So you're into the explain-your-obvious-joke-immediately-afterwards school of humor, eh? Then here's one for you!
Q. What's the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson? A. Whereas Neil Armstrong did the earthwalk on the Moon, Michael Jackson molested small children.
The funny part is where you expect it to be said that Michael Jackson does the moonwalk on the Earth, but instead, something completely unexpected is written (not that the moonwalk and child molestation differ in many ways).
No! Why don't you cue the jokes! Every friggin time, I have to be the one cuing the jokes! Well this time, you're going to have to get off your lazy behind and do it yourself. I quit.
- Firefox has a popup blocker.
- Ultraedit supports multiple Undo/Redo.
- mIRC has a tabbed window interface.
- Winamp can play tracks in a random order.
- Xnews has added easy keyboard shortcuts.
What the heck. I posted this post a while ago. Well, looks like somebody copied it. Probably somebody I know, too....
That's an RPN calculator. It only understands the four basic operations. You need to remove the space between ] and $ for it to work (which Slashdot added).
Heisenberg Uncertainty only matters if we're talking about modern physics. But what if we use post-modern physics, with a post-modern processor designed for post-modern programming? Will Perl be the language that breaks the Teradupes barrier? (One trillion dupes per year.) What then? Slashdot is only a few orders of magnitude away!!

No, Ruby's library was designed from Perl's. The language itself was designed from Smalltalk. Learn what a "library" is.

Does that make me 12 years old?
If only it were that easy.
We have clearance, Clarence.
Maybe you shouldn't have burned out those frequencies from your ear by listening to loud rock music ;-)

So much for that.

Thanks, because I was really worried! I can rest easy now.

God. Why does stupidity exponentiate when people desire to get an early post on a story?
Well, since none of us observed the crime, it was both a mob hit and not a mob hit at the same time.

I don't know what that post is parodying. And I wrote this back in http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=153936&cid=129 12975. So I would like to know.

For example, run it, and type
3 5 + 2 *
You'll get the value of (3 + 5) * 2 printed out.

How do your do "targeted offers" on you RSS feeds?

Sheesh. And I thought the jump from Vistapro 1 to Vistapro 3 was a big deal...

No shit. Dictatorships are only bad if you're forced to live in one.
You don't get the joke.
Odd... I heard that 87.563% of people who make this joke are unwillingly virgin. Amazing.
Couldn't they work hard to reduce that to five seconds? Think how many lives would be saved.
Is this summary serious? Wouldn't they want output devices, too?
