I think you are expressing some legitimate opinions about what kind of languages you like. Ruby, like Perl, embraces more than one way to do it. Some people like that, others find it irritating. Neither reaction is wrong. I think the same thing goes for your reaction to Ruby's lack of explicit interfaces. I find it liberating, you may not. However what I find incorrect is the claim that Ruby is a garbage language. Then again, maybe that is best treated as hyperbole, as an exaggerated expression of your dislike for it.
