Are you sure about that?
There's a lot of line noise in Ruby. How are you supposed to pronounce
"@@"? What about "{|..| ... }"?
There's a lot of "magic" in Ruby as well. For instance, function calls
are made without parentheses. Blocks can only appear as the first
argument. There's a lot more, if you put your mind to it.
Indentation is also optional in Ruby. You can quickly fool a newbie by
not indenting your code properly, which is impossible in Python.
Python is much, much cleaner. I don't know how anyone can honestly say
Ruby is cleaner than Python.
