Strangely, I can read on the page :

"....Ruby also supports exceptions with functionality similar to that of
Java. Ruby supports a variety of kinds of introspection, including
Java-style reflection and Lisp-style enumeration of active objects. The
syntax of Ruby's reflection support is simpler than that of Java. Ruby
does support threading..."

This has been changed meanwhile :)
