Which isn't to say lexical scope isn't important in a ruby program -- it's paramount, especially for resolving constants -- it's just that after a while it's not that big of a deal that there is some ambiguity about where things come from. For me it's one of the most intuitive languages I've ever worked with but it requires a sense of intuition that is learned over time, as contradictory as that sounds.

It also requires a certain sense of confidence that whoever named that method you're calling gave it a good name. Fortunately (and not, I think, coincidentally) the ruby community has always tended towards good naming being really important.
