Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby are shown below.
- Simple Syntax
- *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
- *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
- Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
