Subject: [ruby-talk:01906] Re: Enumerations and all that.

I wonder if attempt to program in Ruby pascal alike (or for that matter any 
other language alike) is worthwhile. Overtime people with other languages 
background would want to introduce flavors of their own. For instance I 
innocently tried to implement matrix multiplication using nested loops like 
I do in C, Tcl, Python, etc.

Ruby may have its own idioms of doing things, not only at low level but also 
conceptually like patterns. The gurus in Japan may have tons of such 
wisdoms.
