My mental model of Ruby is one the simplest of any of the languages I've worked with, but it's also the hardest to put into any words. JS actually does beat it out, and then Scala and Python come after. Everything is kind-of-but-not-really an object, a reference, and a function, all at the same time - which sounds complicated but in my head... turns out to be pretty simple. Everything's just kind of different flavors of the same thing. `attr_accessor` is a good place to see this in action. The flexibility comes more from the variety of available core language options (procs, blocks, and lambdas) and core libraries (map/each/collect, for example), not from a variety of underlying concepts.
