Hi Robert,

take \cle's comments and add this...

Smalltalk lacks:
- modules
- mix-in's

Ruby lacks:
- "nice" class (refactoring-)browser
- advanced Meta model (Behavior class). Parsing classes make use of this.

Coming from Smalltalk, the "not to mention worth 'Ruby lacks'-list" is
one of the main reasons why I love Ruby.

the *other* Clemens ;-)
