So what are the similarities between Ruby and Smalltalk? I'm probably never gonna learn Smalltalk so it's hard to understand what Ruby borrowed.

  Everything is an object. Being able to inspect/change running objects, etc...

  I feel Ruby is mostly another syntax, but the type of OO (with bits of FP where it makes sense in OO) is very much like Smalltalk the language.
