This document discusses similarities and differences between Ruby and Scala. Some key points made include: - Both languages support features like maps, filters, and reduce functions on collections, though the naming is sometimes different (e.g. Traversable#map in Scala vs. Enumerable#map in Ruby). - Both support traits/modules for mixing in functionality like Ruby's modules and Scala's traits. - Both support open classes through mechanisms like Ruby's open class and Scala's implicit conversions. - Both support dynamic invocation through method_missing in Ruby and Scala's dynamic feature. - Scala supports additional features like futures, Scala.js for compiling to JavaScript, and Scala
