Hello Myles,

Which are true OO: multi-dispatch or single-dispatch, single-inheritance
or multiple-inheritance or mixins, objects first-class only or
everything first-class, class based or clone based, subclassing implies
subtyping or not, stateful or functional, encapsulation or not?

Ruby makes certain design decisions, of course, but it also doesn't
enforce any particular OO programming methodology (no type system, no
restriction of first class entities). These together make it highly
unlikely that Ruby holds the answer to the question, what is true OO.
