Quick Anectode About Learning Ruby

Ok... I've decided to try to learn Ruby, and I've got a quick chuckle to share with you...

I got my hands on a copy of the Pragmatic Programmers "Programming Ruby". Here is the funniest snippet I've found so far:

"Because if itself is an expression, you can get really obscure with statements such as

if artist == "John Coltrane"
  artist = "'Trane"
end unless use_nicknames == "no"

This path leads to the gates of madness."

He he he!

Sir,

I find your "blog" to be inaccessible to all but the most "l33t" nerds.

Sincerely yours,

Mr Karl G D Barrow, Esq.

Karl,

Thanks. I'll take this under advisement... :-)
