+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.)
