You got downvoted for not liking something "just because". (I didn't downvote.)
- tluyben2 6y agoIs that not a matter of taste means? I even say I do not know why; I just break out in hives when I open a ruby file. When I open up a file to start programming, I have to have some feeling of ‘let’s do it’; I have that with most languages but with ruby I just think ‘crap this is ugly’. Not sure how to explain that; it is more like trying to explain why I prefer Klee over Rembrandt. I guess some people can but I cannot put that into words.
- mekster 6y agoI share the same feeling when opening up rails project because of their own weird rules and files being all over the place. I don't feel that when writing a single ruby file and feel elegant.
- tluyben2 6y agoI don't know... http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion#Ruby http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion#Ruby I find almost every other implementation better on the eyes; picolisp, pari/gp, nim and some others I would call elegant; the Ruby version looks like overly noisy and fairly ugly to me. Not so much (but still) the function defs, but p (Array.new(20) {|n| F(n) }) I find pretty nasty for some reason (again, not sure why). Randomly picked example.
