if you really feel that way, post your opinion to ruby community,
instead of insulting other langs in your own community. You do not
need to write it in a insulting way. You can simply express your
opinion. This way, we can avoid each lang's fanatics living in their
own world and reading daily their own fantasies.

AFAIU:
Object.equal? is equivalent to CL:EQ
Object.eql? is equivalent to CL:EQL
Object.== is equivalent to CL:EQUAL (and is usually overriden by
subclasses).
Object.=== is equivalent to CL:TYPEP

None.

Right, it's an object like the other Array instances.

There's no structure sharing AFAIK.

You can always Greenspun. Most Ruby libraries are just that. (For
example, there are several Ruby libraries to read Ruby code into
"R-exp", Arrays used like S-exp).
So, you could do implement Lisp-like lists as [1,[2,[3,nil]]].
(def cons(a , b)
[ a , b ]
end)
(def car(cons)
(cons [ 0 ])
end)
(def cdr(cons)
(cons [ 1 ])
end)
(def printSexp(object)
(if ((Array === object) and (2 == (object . length)))
(first = true)
(printf "(")
(current = object)
(while ((Array === current) and (2 == (current . length)))
(if first
(first = false)
else
(printf " ")
end)
(printSexp (car current))
(current = (cdr current))
end)
(if (not(current == nil))
(printf " . ")
(printSexp current)
end)
(printf ")")
else
(printf "%s" , object)
end)
object
end)
>> (printSexp (cons 1 , (cons (cons 2 , 2) , (cons 3 , nil))))
(1 (2 . 2) 3)=> [1, [[2, 2], [3, nil]]]
> Can you show me Ruby code which produces [2, 3] out of [1, 2, 3] without

That's not possible.
> Show me the Ruby syntax for this: (#1=(1 2) #1#) -> ((1 2) (1 2)).
> Both occurences of (1 2) must be the same object!
(a = [1 , 2])
(b = [a , a])
((b [ 0 ]).equal?(b [ 1 ])) --> true
But of course, no literal, it's done at run-time.

You'd have to have a look at the sources. By the way, the equivalent
of
CLHS for Ruby are the sources of the single Ruby implementation.
The so called "Ruby Core Reference":http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/

This is an OOPL. You can also write:
(class Cons
(attr_accessor :car , :cdr)
(def initialize(a , d)
(@car = a)
(@cdr = d)
self
end)
end)
and write:
(Cons . new(1 , (Cons . new(2 , 2)) , (Cons . new(3 , nil))))

Yes, this is an OOPL with single inheritance, you can define a
Sequence
class, and subclasses such as Vector or List.

Ruby's been done by some Japanese newbie... I guess there was some
language barrier preventing him to learn from the 50 years of
occidental
experience in programming language design. At least, he wasn't a
"linguist"...
In any case, why should we suffer for THEIR incompetences?!?
