Interesting Tweet about Ruby Development
This morning an old co-worker of mine retweeted this very interesting tweet about Ruby development:
I do not understand why ppl who hate monkey-patching and OO write Ruby code. It’s like saying you hate big cities and then moving to NYC

It's true, and I think it's one of the reasons I liked moving from C++ to Ruby - the OO was familiar, and the tools and Convention over Configuration made it nice and easy to get things done - and fast.
But then the reality set in. It was always going to be like this. That's when I realized I don't like big cities. Clojure is the way I think with writing code now, and it's the cleanest way I know to write with simplicity.
Acknowledge truth when you hear it. Amen.
