I love Ruby for it's expressiveness even more so than Python. But the author's code examples tend to make me hesitate for the reasons that bad Perl code makes my eyes fall out.
- jrockway 18y agoBut the author's code examples tend to make me hesitate for the reasons that bad Perl code makes my eyes fall out. It's nice to read the article for that reason. Hopefully people will realize that you can write horrifyingly bad code in any language. I'm looking forward to the Python edition ;) Maybe we can start approaching language design rationally when people start realizing that all languages suck big time. Even Ruby. Even Lisp.
