While its subjective, I really think ruby get this part right. When I look at ruby code I don't feel like my eyes hurt, I feel like the code is easy to skim, easy to find what I'm looking for, and there's the right balance between harsh symbols and softer alphanumerics. White space and indenting is also typically good on (good) ruby code. That's part of what I'm trying to keep alive in crystal.
- pdimitar 9y agoI agree on the Ruby syntax part but every single Ruby method can be monkey-patched to oblivion, and many gems do just that. What you see is very often NOT what you get with Ruby. I have looked quickly at Crystal and I liked it, really did. But it's too late for me now, I am in love with Elixir and already using it professionally, quite successfully too. Now that's a language with 90% WTF-free syntax (admittedly some of the pattern matching idioms and a few constructs can be confusing at times; very interested to see the builtin code formatter coming in version 1.6 though).
