I've been working in Ruby for 3 years now, and i can promise you that unclear code is very much not appreciated by not only the people i work with, but all of the open source projects i'm involved with.

It is true that Ruby gives you a lot of rope. People with good design sense appreciate that your code should not be too clever.

Agreed. The ultimate goal is clarity. Everything else is subservient to it.
