Ruby code is not as 'clean' looking as Eu, but not as bad as perl. Just a few $_ and @signs thrown in. Ruby is fully object-oriented, if that matters to you. There is a *lot* more to learn, compared to Eu, but that means you can do things with Ruby that you can't with stock Eu - regular expressions, for example, and internet connectivity. A Ruby book is almost a necessity, but I can get by without one for Euphoria. I wrote a program which extracts and totals orders from our website's shopping cart database; the Ruby version was shorter than the Eu version by about 10%, and the Ruby code was easier to understand.
