Ok clear.

First note in this first reply:

REALbasic is not ROR, so I believe things that can be possible in SCRIPT
LANGUAGE as Ruby, are not so short in languages like RB or C++ or Java or
NET.

You need keep this in mind always.

If you looking for very short notation, that you need choose HIGH LEVEL
language, payment of course - speed. Script language can be slower or MUCH
slower... So its your own trade off.
