As for a second opinion, I found python's approach at OO best for most
purposes so far. Nesting by indentation may not be everyones favourite,
though.

In the end, it's probably only a matter of taste and personal preference.

Ruby could be compared to Smalltalk freed from the concept of the
image. A file based smalltalk. It's more than that, of course, but
you could start there.

For people who know only languages like C++, VB, and Java, Ruby is
quite an eye-opener.
