I'd move to ruby but the OO's a bit limited for my tastes - no multiple inheritance and a fairly minimalist mixin system just doesn't cut it after doing perl/python OO and using assorted lisps for prototyping.

Of course, every ruby dev I've spoken to about this has basically said "you don't need anything more, and if you do want it, that means your design is wrong" - which brings us immediately into a question of opinion so I can't really argue either way about it.

I do find perl5 v10 w/MooseX::Declare to be very much "ruby, but with a more flexible object system" though ...



One of the things I was looking forward to in implementing Ruby on Parrot was using real OO. I don't really mind ruby's syntax too much, but the OO was frustrating.
