According to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose programming language. It was designed and developed in the mid-1990s by Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto in Japan.<\/p>\n According to its creator, Ruby was influenced by Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including functional, object-oriented, and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this table I will compare some basic programming syntax and conventions between the Python and Ruby programming languages.
