Introduction to Ruby

The first thing I noticed is the lack of curly braces to define scope. We'll see how this difference to other languages plays out.

Printing to the console is so much easier!

String concatenation behaves the same as in JavaScript when using the `+` symbol.

It's unnecesary to use  the `return` keyword if the last line inside a method returns exactly what you intended. Still, I find using
the `return` keyword preferable with my experience in JavaScript and C++.

Ruby appears to be less syntactically verbose compared to other programming languages I've used in the past. Although, the naming
convention of using multiple words seperated by underscores defeats this purpose compared to something like camelCase.

Variable creation is a beauty of the Ruby language! Simply name it and assign a value! No need to declare that you are declaring a
variable like in JavaScript or declare the variable's type like in C++.

String interpolation only seemed to work when using double quotes ("") and not when I used single quotes (''). Perhaps I'm doing
something wrong?

What I believe is the "global scope" also behaves like a method! I may be off, but it seems like the end of a Ruby program also returns
whatever is on the last line.
