matz: Which programming languages are you capable of?

[Robert.Koepferl]

It's just, I'm rather interested in different kinds of p-languages and
concepts. And somehow I wnat to know which of them have influenced you in
desingning Ruby. Besids: Ruby is the most elegant and flexible language I
learned, up to now. I like it really. There're many concepts united while
not interfering each other. good work! Thx
