My 2 �

(1) No explicit types. Probably the most disconcerting thing for a 
Javahead.
(2) Because of (1), you cannot rely on the compiler to catch trivial 
mistakes.
(3) Think in terms of methods (behaviors) instead of classes.
(4) KISS.
(5) Discipline. Because of its inherent flexibility, Ruby require more 
self-discipline.

Cheers
