I think a problem is that Ruby's standard thumbnail description: "an
object-oriented scripting language", reminds people of Python, so they
try to understand the language as a "better Python".  But Ruby is not
IMHO very much like Python at all, so this is a bad way to approach
it.  Sadly, I don't know what to do about this.
