By the way, compressed is overrated IMHO. If you love compressed, you might like PERL, or if you like powerful ideas expressed simply, you might like LISP.
However, when it comes time to actually maintain code (and all code needs maintaining), you will probably find simple Ruby to be much easier to read and understand.

Clarity around capturing of intent can't be overrated in my opinion when it comes time to programming.

What else have you programmed in, if anything?
