The goal of ruby is to make programming easier and more enjoyable right? 
So isnt it important that a language with that as its goal can express 
simple programs in a simple and intuitive way? I am a begining 
programmer and i find ruby counter intuitive so far and that worries me 
and makes me wonder if i am wasting my time with. I want to learn how to 
write software. Thats the bigger picture i am in right now. Its not 
personal,  I am just trying to get my feet wet here and make sense of 
all this stuff.
