Okay, I've attracted to Ruby because of RoR. But, I've learned that Ruby
is much more than that.

1) It supports blocks: I've heard that Python will support this, but I
couldn't find
any explanation regarding that in Python Tutorial.

2) OOP style codes: I hate mentioning self everytime I want to instance
methods.

3) quit: I can quit irb using 'quit'. Python urges me to press CTRL+D though
it knows
that I want to quit.

4) inject: inject is very interesting and powerful. I don't know how python
programmers
are handling the situtation where inject fits.

Sincerely,
Minkoo Seo
