I have never seen such an accurate image in all of my life. I honestly don't get why Ruby has the hype that it does.

"Elsif" - a Ruby statement that makes you think, "Why the hell didn't they just bother to put the other 'e' in there? There's already one in the beginning..."

The OOP in Ruby is confusing to many, as well - it just ruins the relationship pattern of language orthogonality.

I wonder if you ever tried Ruby/Rails yourself on even a small project. What were the things that actually put you off?

Also I am a bit saddened of how boring your life can be for "not having seen such an accurate image in all of your life". If you want my advice, leave IT for a second and go read a literature book or romance like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera. You'll see way more incredibly accurate images there.

Wow this is really a big thing to point out as a language problem, isn't it? But anyway, since we must talk about this important matter, I myself have never felt it as a bad thing because to me "elsif" is also more easily readable than "elseif"... but again, what a big point...

Wat?? Confusing to who? Have you ever coded in Ruby at all? Ruby has one of most nicely laid off object modeling representation, which is probably the best part of Ruby and the one which makes pure joy to code/model a lot of things.

It looks that for some reason you are being highly biased and have lot of prejudice and the things you've pointed out are so much out of track, unrelated and silly, that they really make you come off stupid (as much as the linked text), because they really show how so much selectively you tried to learn Ruby "facts".

You should really review your approach to learning.
