Me too! Even just the fact that only
falseandnilare falsey is enough for me to prefer Ruby. Being able to use||=as an idiomatic one-time initializer is rad. Python's OOP bothers me in a lot of ways compared to Ruby as well. And don't get me started on Ruby's blocks. . .The OOP in Python isn't bolted on. It was there from the first version I ever saw in the 90s.
You're absolutely right, not sure where I thought I had read that.
Edit: It's actually a bit less clear cut when you consider new vs old style classes, which took the Python 3 discontinuity to resolve. But still, it was wrong to imply that Python didn't originally support OOP.
