+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features (ex. class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features (ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files (on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable (works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)

This package is Ruby 1.8 based release.
