The Python vs Ruby thing is tired by now but reading this reminds me again of how many problems Ruby managed to solve with just one construct (blocks).
Python was my first "scripting" language but modern idiomatic Python is almost unrecognizable compared to the Python I started out with in 1997.
The fact that the Ruby I was writing in 2002 looks almost modern is a testament to Matz' foresight.
