It's OO + Functional like Ruby, but it compiles to JVM bytecode (and also optionally to MSIL for the CLR) and it can use all of the Java libraries natively. I've been toying with it this week for the functional stuff, and I really like it. Check out Scala.

This is only true if you're writing some top-down, bash-style script. And I know that's not what you're doing...RIGHT?! class Foo def test1 test2 end def test2 puts 'yo!' end end Foo.new.test1 # yo! Works for me. PS - Sorry about the formatting - it seems to strip my 'pre' tags. “Ruby could look ahead and not have to read my def before I use it.”

class Foo
def test1
test2
end

def test2
puts ‘yo!’
end
end

Foo.new.test1 # yo!

Works for me.

That and the "def"s keep putting me off any time I try to pick up Ruby. Kinda similar with AOP. I'm sure their adoption would have been a bit higher if they had not chosen such stupid keywords.

Kinda similar with AOP. I’m sure their adoption would have been a bit higher if they had not chosen such stupid keywords.
