    Oh I didn’t even mean that; just the (possible, shorthand/unreadable) syntax alone, weird typing, etc. seem like it’d be hard to work with.

    It’s also funny because “allowing clusterfucks” is a huge reason why PHP was so hated; when you took care to write it properly it wasn’t bad even in the early days.

      The thing with Ruby clusterfucks is you have to go looking for them. Languages with implicit type coercion and loose comparison like PHP and JS have clusterfucks lying in wait for you and it takes concerted effort to avoid them.

      What do you mean regarding weird typing?
