This is just a guess, but someone who only knows C++, Java and/or C# who learns Ruby (or Python, Perl, JavaScript, etc) and Lisp will find the two languages closer to each other than to what they know. I think that's why comparisons are drawn between the two frequently. Note that people have made the same observations about Python and JavaScript (Peter Norvig writing about Python, Douglas Crockford writing about JavScript)
