1. "Matsumoto describes the design of Ruby as being like a simple Lisp language at its core, with an object system like that of Smalltalk, blocks inspired by higher-order functions, and practical utility like that of Perl." (Wikipedia: Ruby (programming language), 1.20.23 UTC 05:35)
2. "Ruby is object-oriented: every value is an object, including classes and instances of types that many other languages designate as primitives (such as integers, booleans and 'null')." (Wikipedia: Ruby (programming language), 1.20.23 UTC 05:35)
3. "Ruby is dynamically typed and uses garbage collection and just-in-time compilation. It supports multiple procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming." (Wikipedia: Ruby (programming language), 1.20.23 UTC 05:35)
4. "The syntax of Ruby programming language is broadly similar to that of Perl and Python. Class and method definitions are signaled by keywords, whereas code blocks can be defined by either keywords or braces." (Wikipedia: Ruby syntax: 3.7.22 UTC 01:33)
