Scala

It was started in 2001 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) by Martin Odersky . It unifies ‘Functional Programming’ and ‘Object Oriented Programming’. It is object-oriented in the sense that everything in Scala is an object. The functionality and behavior is grouped into classes and traits and subclassing can be done by extending the same. In Scala every function returns a value. Functions can be anonymous, nested or curried.

Scala is extensible because it allows to integrate new language constructs in form of libraries. It is capable if running both on the Java platform and .NET platform.

The interpreter behind Scala is called ‘scalac’. It generates java classes which can be run on the JVM.


Ruby

It was first released in December 1995 and was created by Yukihiro Matsumoto. It is an object oriented language in which data types and classes are objects. Ruby supports only single inheritance. It does not support multiple inheritance but modules and mixins can be used to import functionality of other classes.

Ruby also has features like exception handling, garbage collection, OS independent threading and is highly portable. Ruby can be embedded in C language.
