As someone who has to now deal with a couple of complicated/convoluted Ruby codebases, that is one of the biggest things I miss from Python too.
- sanderjd 9y agoYeah, I've come to think this is perhaps Ruby's biggest design miss. It can be really hard to trace dependencies in Ruby, and doing so is a prerequisite for any deep understanding of what's going on. (Granted, this is mostly a problem in Rails projects, but the fact is that Ruby makes this problem possible.)
