*I know this is a long thread but since it was on the first page, I decided to reply*

I love the closure parts of the article between the comparison of Ruby and Java

array.each {|element| puts element}

'Tis absolutely brilliant! Are there lots of examples where Ruby beats Java in shortcuts?

Yes there are... Although just to be fair to Java.. here's it's quickie:

for (Object o : array) System.out.println(o);

There are lots of fantastic uses of blocks in Ruby.  For instance, let's say you want to number the elements in an array as you print them.

array.each_with_index { |element, index| puts "#{index + 1}. #{element}" }
