Can we talk about Ruby’s laissez faire approach to syntax. Ignoring all the purely technical stuff every ruby project I’ve seen that has at least a small team behind it looks like a kitchen sink. Bob does it X way, Tina does it Y way, Joe does it X way. Every person does it their own way and readability becomes an eyesore as the project grows.
If I didn’t know any better I’ve seen teams so bad it’s almost a game of “look how gross this block is, now let’s see how much worse you can make the next one”.
I’ve always found ruby very off-putting for this reason alone. I don’t want to inherit or work on something where everyone just wants to show off. How do organizations manage this? Is it just me?
