>Cost only goes up and up when engineers go overboard with "clever" Ruby magic... which is human error, don't blame the tool. I've only used a few languages in production for my non-developer job, but I've noticed very different frequencies of "clever" code between them. R: This is my primary language. I love it, but it almost encourages clever coding. There are 10 ways to do any task without even touching third-party packages. Python: My secondary language at work. Clever coding is definitely possible in Python, but the language's syntax makes it easy to spot. Detection isn't as good as prevention but it's better than nothing. (I also grudgingly use SAS, but won't waste my time looking for ways it encourages clear coding.)
