I am quite suprised that nobody has mentioned Ruby? It seems like a very obvious language choice for perlmonks, looking for a bit more clean oo aproach. I am an old newtonscript (self inspired prototype based oo language) hacker, and find Ruby to contain most of my favorit oo features(along with some nice new stuff, such as their iterator concept) combined with most of my favorite Perl features...

A search on Ruby didn't show nuch of any real discussions about Ruby on this site.. do people not know or care about Ruby??
Update : even the super search only returns 3 nodes containg the word ruby... *scary*

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
