It's even worse when you combine the two complaints: do_thing unless other_thing Which of course you find in many Ruby codebases. Python list comprehensions seem less painful to me because they read almost like the WHERE clause in SQL simple SELECTs. Definitely not the most straightforward thing one encounters in Python though.
