Why Ruby Is More Readable Than Python

Yeah, Ruby is like poetry.

Most poetry is like https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Vogon_poetry.

And the worst is that I'm unable to do poetry.

I'm enthusiast about learning about languages, and enjoy everything I see about APL, Ruby, Scheme, Forth, Haskell, etc. I actually LIKE the concepts.

Is kind of relaxing take a look around the basic tutorial or read what the "good" poets say about that.

But my instinct tell me it will be torture to live like a poet.

So, for actual work, is much better (for me) all languages that have restriction and strict ideas about stuff.

- Python FORCE indentation? SOLD!

- Pascal DEMAND declare all before use? GIVE ME MORE!

- Rust SMASH YOUR HEAD at every keystroke? SHUT UP, TAKE MY MONEY!

Well, the second verse

has an extra syllable,

but that's fine by me :)
