After you use ruby for a while, you'll stop wanting to make it look
like some other language. You'll realize it's nice the way it is. And
certain things will start to grow on you, such as using @x instead of
self.__x.

If that's a one-line 'if', what's this?

  print a if a > 0

even better, that's what. :)
