PHP has the same simplicity: echo ‘PHP rocks!!!!’

and in DOS it’s

echo hello Ruby.

I rest my case.

Have you looked at JRuby?

http://jruby.sourceforge.net/

As Matt knows, I’ve been a Python fan for a long time and I have yet seen a reason to switch — or even try Ruby. Maybe Rails will finally get me play with it.

aaa, sure that’s a simple example, but check out the following video that shows a blog engine being written from scratch in 15 minutes:

I’m glad you’ve found the error in your ways! Though I would suggest not taking my word for it. And my, as you call it “brilliant” (I prefer “brillant” by the way…) example is just showing that there is simplicity there, not an attempt on my behalf to impart any sort of knowlege on the reader that they wouldn’t be able to figure out on their own.

Thanks for your comments.
