So: > Read this post ‘unless’ you’re not a Ruby developer But: > Read this post if you’re a Ruby developer Surely? Seriously though, the main way Ruby went wrong was an obsession with this entirely superficial kind of expressiveness and simplicity. Rubyists will lard their code with all sorts of "convenient" and "easy" features, to save a few keystrokes here and there, at the expense of bloating their APIs and hiding weird, hard-to-reason about magic.
