Matz is our benevolent dictator, Guido is Python's. Their decisions win.

You need to take each language as a whole. If on balance you prefer 
Ruby, then use Ruby; if something else has the best combination of 
features for you (of the fewest annoyances), then use that. Whichever 
one gets the job done best for you.

The decision that constants must start with ASCII A-Z is fundamental and 
unlikely to be revisited.
