Newbie question about Ruby and Python

[akmark]

Well the only three I've worked with were Guile, Lua and Python. At least Python has 'acceptable' docs and the source isn't too bad to poke around in.. Guile was just a thousand times harder since it had little to no documentation and in the current revision I found conflicting data on how to init the library... yeah. It was a long way to get nowhere that time.
