Summary
As Edd Dumbill wrote, "the subtle elegance of the Ruby idiom is a slowly appreciated and highly satisfying flavour." It's true that some of the best things about Ruby aren't obvious to newcomers. In this talk Glenn Vanderburg demonstrates some of the subtle beauty that experienced Rubyists know and love.

Ruby is a great language. Rubyist should definitely not ignore some even more elegant languages like Smalltalk and LISP.

Great presentation. Any chance slides would be available for download?

I liked the presentation.

I would love to watch this, but with low bandwidth the buffering every ~5 secs is killing me...and would take WAY too long to get through it...I would love to be able to download it...any thoughts?

Here's a textual summary =)

Perl has had a regexp object since 5.6 was released in 2000. I don't know of any operating systems that still ship with an older version. The speaker should have done his homework on this before spending what seemed like five minutes larking about how this feature was lacking.
We've had this seven years now. Please catch up. -
Ruby is certainly a nice language and I like it. However, you shouldn't
use your ignornace if Perl to support Ruby:
* Perl sigils do not denote type: they denote context. $scalar is a
scalar, but $array[0] works with an array, and $hash{foo} works with a
hash. @array[0,1] works with an array, but @hash{'foo', 'bar'}. It's
not type, what you're doing with it. You can read more about that in
Learning Perl.
* Perl regular expressions aren't operators: the match operator, m//, is an
operator, but that's not the thing that's the pattern. The stuff
inside the match operator is the pattern, but the pattern is not the
match operator. You can create a regular expression without the match
operator with the qr() quoting mechanism.
You'll eventually find that Ruby, if it gets as popular as Perl, will be treated as poorly as Perl as newbies learn by hit-and-miss. Newbies will invent their own systems to explain the portions of Ruby that they know and that they think they understand. Just wait :) -
Tnx!
I really like to learn from these Ruby presentations since I am unable to be at the conferences for now.
