<iirc notice="please someone correct me if I say something wrong"> Yes. But in Ruby, there's a clear distinction between attributes and methods, and attributes are always private, so you can only access them thru method calls. Also, Ruby's methods are not really first class objects - at least not the way they are in Python -, so when returning a 'callable' object from a method, you have to call a method of the object (something like callable.call IIRC). </iirc> > solving some > of the "impossibile" problems shown in this thread.

But that's of course very subjective, and I have far less experience with Ruby. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
