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.)
