  1. Because Ruby forces object orientation and does not permit procedural or functional style code

  2. Because Ruby makes no distinction between objects and primitive types

  3. Because Ruby's syntax is similar to that of Perl

  4. Because Ruby programmers are full of themselves

Explanation

Ruby is considered 'purely' object-oriented because it has no primitive types - everything, including integers, booleans, and nil, are objects. Java and C++ distinguish between objects and primitives (int, char, bool, etc.), making them less 'pure' in OOP terms.
