    "Dividing methods into private and public is for control freaks, you don’t need it in Ruby"

Coming from a Python dev's perspective, does Ruby have the concept of public/private? Python just has the underscore and double underscore conventions: if you absolutely have to you can use the "private" variables and methods, but in doing so you still understand that it might change without notice in future versions. "We're all adults here" is the the motto, if I recall.
