     @garbados until programmers learn to treat the implementation as one of the actually-important interfaces for other humans, and how to do that without accidentally building torture devices, it's gonna be ever thus.

     (also i guess: ruby seems unusually rich in temptations to cleverness.)

     @brennen ruby is fucking impenetrable. so much shit is just invisibly inserted into scope. i'm sure it makes someone out there feel very clever and it makes me hate them

     @garbados yeah, i remember the allure of why's poignant guide and whatnot, and i remember feeling at one time that ruby would be a natural place for me to drift from perl, but i don't think time has been kind to a lot of the specific ways ruby culture thought it was humanizing programming.

     @garbados I read this as 'inscrutable tome of interlocking pizzas' and it had the same effect
