Why the us vs them mentality? How is that productive? Did people who love Ruby do something to you?

Pretty hard to grow and learn new concepts if you immediately label anything you don’t understand yet as “super dumb”

[BugsJustFindMe]

This isn't any new concept to learn. There are real consequences to the other people who need to read and improve the code later to not being able to form rapid linear intuition about the meaning of values being passed around programs without looking somewhere else. It's like reading a garden path sentence where the understanding of the beginning can only exist after working backwards from the end. And there's definitely a distinct dichotomy between developers who detect the discommoding and developers who don't.
