I really hate this "My language is better than your X" talk. Remember that the reason that you find a language predictable in usage is often because you have experience using it, claiming that it's syntax will be clearer from the start is misleading.
Also, you could have structured the "supreme readable ruby code" much more cleanly:

- jshen 14y agoMy point isn't "language x is better than language y". My point is that "unambiguous" syntax can be harder to visually parse than a more ambiguous syntax. Java has a lot of noise that makes it hard to visually follow the intent of the code, even though it is less ambiguous. Admittedly I could have come up with a better code example :) I wanted to show code transforms a collect a couple of times.
