Disagree; the Ruby FAQ is quite a bit skinnier than 4" :-)

I've never written a line of code in Python, BTW.

But you've piqued my curiosity: tell me, what did you find
surprising about Ruby?  Where "surprising" is defined as 
"you thought it worked one way" and then discovered that it did not,
or that it worked that way some of the time and some other way
the rest of the time?

Just learning a new concept doesn't count as surprising,
but being led astray by inconsistent behavior does.
