I don't see the relevance of the style guide mentioned for the debate over how to teach beginners. When you check out a guide, it has to be assumed you are familiar with pretty much most of the syntax of your language.

It's an example of that particular social more and the canonical example of good vs. bad looping over an array. That's why I used it.

  I see your concern, if I was a beginner and I googled around I might be inclined to learn the supposedly good looping which might be difficult.

    Oh, no concern at all about the ruby style guide. I even point people at it in the book so they can start grasping and writing code with other people. My mention of the guide is not intended as a knock on the guide at all.

      Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
