For someone wanting to explore a dynamic language for OS X, they might  
get the wrong impression when they see this associated article:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/RubyPythonCocoa/Articles/UsingScriptingBridge.html#/ 
/apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005424-SW1

Where there are 10 lines of python and about 50 or so lines of Ruby,  
and all the fun stuff is shown in Ruby.  That was my first impression  
at least, it is funny someone brought it up too.
