I think the Lispy features were more derived Smalltalk than Perl...
- ColinWright 15y agoIt's not a question of what the language was derived from, it's a question of what prompted it to be developed. It's not where it drew it features from, or what its ancestor was, or what's it's most like. It's a question of what caused the developers to create a language, not where they got the new language's feature from.
- draegtun 15y agoBoth Perl & Smalltalk provided lispy influences/features to Ruby. For eg. map & collect being same method (ie. aliases) - http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Array.html#M000249 http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Array.html#M000249
