Except for the emphasis on lambdas and closures which might be a conceptual hurdle for somebody coming from a language where they aren't used very often.

- tptacek 18y agoYou don't really need to think about closures to write idiomatic Ruby code, even though closures are being relied on heavily behind the scenes. I think tryruby does a good job walking you through blocks, and if you have blocks you have lambdas. So I'm not saying "if you know Python you know Ruby"; just "if you know Python you're a 20 minute web demo away from knowing Ruby". ;)
