Well c sharp has a struct type, but it's basically just a class, so in that sense the comparison is accurate. But I don't think the ruby code is supposed to be a one to one comparison (you could write a similar Struct class in c sharp too). I assume that what the author there was trying to say was that ruby is a higher-level language / has more syntactic sugar than c sharp many times. The same can be said of python as well, though python is a bit more reserved about adding sugar (ruby is more aligned with perl in TMTOWTDI, python is more like "There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it").
