In my last post I suggested that Ruby may have some advantages over Smalltalk, especially when it comes to borrowing some of the more powerful features of Lisp. First thing to say is titling the post "Ruby versus Smalltalk" wasn't the cleverest thing to do. The responses tended to contain more heat then light. I hold up may hands and take full responsibility for this. Given the amount of FUD that Smalltalk has suffered over the years, it is hardly surprising that the Smalltalk community are protective.
