Ruby -- A better OO Perl than Perl? Python 3000 features available now?

[Tim Rowe]

The "What Is" named my three favourite languages (Python, Eiffel, 
Ada) so I had a look.

Couldn't get it to install under Beos. Couldn't see anything in the 
language that I didn't already have. Didn't like the look of the language. 
Unimpressed.
