[Vit-discuss] Ruby compared to other languages...

[Matt Todd]

Is it possible to have equivalent example blocks of code for the languages?
I'd be willing to submit a few...

cities  = %w[ London
              Oslo
              Paris
              Amsterdam
              Berlin ]
visited = %w[Berlin Oslo]

puts "I still need " +
     "to visit the " +
     "following cities:",
     cities - visited


vs...


$cities = array("London",
                        "Oslo",
                        "Paris",
                        "Amsterdam",
                        "Berlin");
$visited = array("Berlin", "Oslo");

print "I still need" .
         "to visit the " .
         "the following cities: \n" .
         implode("\n", array_diff($cities, $visited));


Yeah, it is ugly, isn't it?
