I heard some rumor that ruby was a type 2 lisp. There were some guys who rate programming languages on how much lisp features they reassemble. What is the source?

I guess that beginner text books need to focus on teaching you one feature at a time. It could be better if you aim for C1 level text books. But since free exercises are hard to check, it is probably not meant for a book.
