We will be introducing Ruby to our XP Users group in Cincinnati next week.
 I thought it would be fun to create a list of "Ten Things Every Java
Programmer Should Know About Ruby" to help the transition.  I've got a
number of things in my head, but would love to hear ideas from the mailing
list.

So go ahead and submit your ideas.  What things should a Java programmer
be aware of when starting out in Ruby?
