In the Ruby Book, ch1, in a list of 7 features that characterize Ruby as an OO language, the 6th reads: 全体がオブジェクト指向という統一的なポリシーで設計されているので、豊富 で強力な機能もわかりやすく分類されている [Tentative E. tl:] Ruby was designed in its entirety to be object-oriented, wherein an abundance of powerful features are classified in an easy to understand manner. Could someone please explain in more detail what this means and/or improve on the translation? Thanks. Jon -- Jon Babcock <jon / kanji.com>
