It is sad to me that you hate Ruby. It is a better language than Python for my taste in all dimensions except number of libraries available.

To begin with I could never understand why there need to be those global functions in Python to do meaningful things with lists.

In Ruby the "everything is an object" really works down to every nut and bolt and is clean and very conceptually pleasing.

Whether you call a package a gem, module, jar or whatever isn't very central.
