Ruby
Ruby caught me on the first sight. Its simplicity makes it irresistible.
No intention to learn Ruby on Rails too, but it may still happen once. In meantime, only CLI script will be here.
My favorite Ruby features
- Suitable for quite compact one-liners.
- Better readability with statement modifiers,
unless
andand
,or
,xor
,not
between expressions. - JSON-like array and hash literals.
- Statements have return values.
- Flexible use of
break
,next
,redo
. - Anonymous
Proc
s. - Functions are first-class citizens.
