## ruby-1.9.3.194 – object oriented script language with threads

## Description

    Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
    easy object-oriented programming.  It has many features to
    process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
    Perl).  It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.

    Features of Ruby are shown below.

      - Simple Syntax
      - *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
      - *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
      - Operator Overloading
      - Exception Handling
      - Iterators and Closures
      - Garbage Collection
      - Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
      - Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
        Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
