Yeah, Ruby uses the doublequote/singlequote distinction from Perl, but Ruby tags variables to interpolate with #{}, while Groovy and Perl use $.

Oh, although I guess Perl got that syntax from the Bourne shell…

Huh, I could have sworn that I remembered that Groovy has taken it from Ruby.

Incidentally, Ruby uses just # for variables, it uses #{} for arbitrary expressions. A common style prefers #{} even where # alone works, though.
