Subject: What's important to know about Ruby?

I believe Ruby to be a "small" language -- like C.  There is relatively
little to know about the C language itself: for, while, if, do, ...

But what gives C its power are the functions: printf, ... You have to know
the functions needed to make your program do what it's supposed to do.

Are the different classes and methods within each class the equivalent
"learning curve" for Ruby?

This might shed some light on the pedagogy for Ruby.
