php vs ruby

PHP:

<?php
include_once './scripts/markdown.php';
$filename = './aiko.md';
$handle = fopen($filename, 'r');
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
print Markdown($contents);
?>

Ruby:

require 'markdown'
contents = open('./aiko.md', &:read)
puts Markdown(contents)
