From the RefreshinglyBlue blog, there's
a new post that makes a comparison between two of the most popular web scripting languages - PHP and Ruby - on a practical, basic level.
There are rather significant syntactical differences between PHP and Ruby. For example PHP requires semicolons at the end of lines and generally requires curly brackets to enclose blocks of code. Ruby, on the other hand, uses newline characters to denote the end of a line of code...
The post
goes through other differences like: value return methods, function/method naming, similarities between them, frameworks, namespaces, documentation and hosting options.
