Ruby: the only problem i have with Ruby is that it is too easy to make a mess. and i do hate rspec with a passion. it's a perfect example of a DSL done wrong. otherwise Ruby's one of the most enjoyable language i've worked with. dynamic typing: old debate and author contributed nothing to it. side effects: with enough effort and discipline ruby can be very much functional and side effects are less of an annoyance. oop: yeah, but more specifically "what oop has become in past 30 years".
