whoa whoa whoa

Ruby is a really cool language with some fascinating features--don't limit yourself by assuming that you also have to learn the Rails stuff.

Seriously, give it a shot in one of its more palatable forms.

There's nothing obtuse about it, new programming ideas have happened since the 70s and 80s but as far as I know none of them is in Ruby, and you're basically assuming tylermenezes does not know about any of the (much older) features which did get into Ruby.

Tell that to STM. Sure most new programming languages are amalgamations of existing concepts, but new stuff does turn up from time to time.

But STM is from the 80s -- 1986 to be precise.
