44 ;;Quote: Ruby is a pure, untyped, object-oriented language with metaclasses, iterators, closures, reflection, run-time extension, dynamic loading, marshalling, threads, exceptions, garbage collection
46 ;;Quote: Ruby instance variables are always protected; accessible to subclasses only
46+;;Quote: use Ruby attributes to get and set instance variables; define explicitly or via 'attr_accessor', etc.
48 ;;Quote: Ruby blocks are closures or anonymous methods; code that is stored along with its context; delimitated by braces or do..end
49 ;;Quote: a Ruby module is a namespace
49+;;Quote: a Ruby mix-in is an interface that includes code; e.g., 'find' for 'Enumerable'; implemented as a module
51 ;;Quote: Ruby uses a ! suffix to indicate methods that modify their object, and ? for predicates
