i think python has been out there as long as perl has? seems to me i
read that somewhere...

one of the things i really like about ruby is some of the perlisms i
can use like 'if' after another statement:

mylog.trim if mylog.size > 1000

ruby has a pretty good level of tim toadie as we can see with the
cartesian product thread.

i never felt comfortable with python code because i was told the way i
was doing it was always wrong. with ruby i can ease into more consise
ruby code, but still have others ok with my code as it currently stands.
