On his journal, Matz has illustrated some differences between Ruby classes and Python classes, running some examples through the Python interpreter. He largely dwells on the syntax for retrieving a method list for an integer type. I think he’s awfully proud of Ruby’s elegance in this matter, which is cool with me.

In Python:

 >>> (1).__class__.__dict__.keys()
 ['__int__', '__ror__', '__rtruediv__', ... ]

In Ruby:

 >> 1.methods
 => ["%", "between?", "method", "send", ... ]
