Ruby is dynamically typed. Even the basic Array type can contain values
that are of any type whatsoever, so it is already a generic list which is
even more generic and flexible than the generic lists you can create in
most languages like C# and Java. It is perfectly legal to make an array
like:

[ "a", 1, :b, SomeObject.new]

where each element has a completely different type. I think it will take a
while for dynamic typing to sink in for someone like you who is used to
static types, but do take the time to understand it because it is what
makes Ruby what it is.
