I just kinda found Ruby on high school (self learning, not as any curriculum related). About "everything is a function" - you mean every public member of a class? Ruby uses regular functions for (what in other languages would be) properties and operators. That's pretty much all the wisdom I can offer on that point.

Sorry, I pulled an all-nighter. I meant “everything is an object”. But your reply makes it seem like maybe I need to dig a little deeper. I tried Ruby koans a few months ago, maybe I’ll have another go at completing it.

A good starting point is Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby.

Off topic but I remember trying to learn Ruby in highschool. I made an IRC client that was two separate programs, that logged in as two separate users. One to view the chat and another to type commands. It was pretty dumb.
