One of my most consistent experiences with Ruby is doing something the "wrong way" - but being able to do, due the language flexibility - and then later coming back to the problem and realizing the better solution, which ends up being more satisfactory and happier in every way. Ruby lets you do whatever you want, however you want, but it makes the right way the most satisfying. Very handy for iterative development.
