But unlike Perl, Ruby doesn't require warning switches to gloss over bad
decisions in its design process. We shouldn't make these in Ruby after
the fact, should we?

I never use warning switches in Ruby without having any adverse affects
from it. I wouldn't advice anyone to do that in Perl. In Perl these
switches are a real plague, especially because of false alarms: That
explains the invention of the "use warnings" and "no warnings" pragmas.

One question, I have left: Why do you hate Ruby so much?
