I think the "smaller then" sign is great. It means "This subclass is a
descendant (smaller/younger) class of this other class."

Child < Parent makes perfect sense.

PS:
(I like the "postmodern mess" of Perl, but it tended to jump back at
me a couple of weeks later. I feel I have the same freedom with Ruby,
with a more secure feeling allowing me to write large applications
without fear. Perl was the first language I felt joyful with. Ruby
took the same path in my heart.)
