Subject: [ruby-talk:25784] Re: Scripting for both object and non-object

Ruby is a totally OO language, but can be used to write scripts in other
styles, including simple scripts, procedural style, and a functional style
with higher-order functions.  Each of these other styles are implemented
using the OO mechanisms of the Ruby language, but the programmer does not
need to know this.

Cheers,
        Nat.
