What mainstream language is Ruby most like?
I'm guessing Python, but my Ruby exposure is limited.
What do you think? Python, Smalltalk, etc...
This part of the forum is off to a very slow start...
I wonder if it reflects Ruby's overall popularity?

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
This forum is fairly new and it hasn't attracted much Ruby programmers yet. Part of the reason for that is there is no Ruby content here.
It looks similar to Python but I haven't used it much to know any better.

Ruby was actually based on a combination of languages: Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp. You can see in the code several of those languages (and others):
[highlight=ruby]def create_set_and_get(initial_value=0) # Note the default value of 0
closure_value = initial_value
return Proc.new {|x| closure_value = x}, Proc.new { closure_value }
end
setter, getter = create_set_and_get # ie. returns two values
setter.call(21)
getter.call # => 21
#You can also use a parameter variable as a binding for the closure.
#So the above can be rewritten as...
def create_set_and_get(closure_value=0)
proc {|x| closure_value = x } , proc { closure_value }
end[/highlight]
# look like Perl
def/end look like Basic
Optional line ending syntax is similar to JavaScript
What else?
[highlight=ruby]def create_set_and_get(initial_value=0) # Note the default value of 0

I compared Ruby to pseudocode because it is so readable.

I personally don't like pipe characters used for passing in variables/parameters

Ruby is most likely to pseudo code.
