Subject: Re: Ruby's "More than one way to do things."

There are more than one way to do things because different programmers
come from different languages may prefer different style. In python
everything can be readable from one python programmer to the next
because of how it is.

Ruby expects people to be migrating from C, C++, Java, Python, Perl,
Lisp, sh, etc.

Each type of programmer may have a different perspective on the "one
true way" to express themselves.

Though a couple of years old please refer to this link:
