Is Ruby Python for Lisp programmers?
From Ruby: Python for Lisp Programmers:
A popular game on comp.lang.lisp is comparing Lisp with Python. Lispers complain that Python has a crippled lambda and no lexical closures, and they hiss and boo whenever Python’s development tends in a non-functional direction.
I’ve recently been playing with Ruby. Lo and behold, it has real lambdas, closures, and a generally more functional style. The syntax is almost as clean as Python’s, without that significant whitespace that raises so many hackles.
Maybe it is time to try Ruby?
