Grokking the language
Understanding and appreciating its philosophy
Coming to grips with reality
(no language is perfect)
(not even Clojure)
(some languages really suck)
Master the idioms
for i in 1..3 puts "Hello, Moscow!” end
3.times do puts "Hello, Moscow!” end
if some_condition then # body omitted end
def some_method # ... return result end

pro “puts” debugging techniques
object = Object.new puts object.method(:blank?).source_location # => ["/gems/activesupport-5.0.0.beta1/ lib/active_support/core_ext/object/ blank.rb",

class Bar def foo puts "=====================" puts caller end end
def foo puts method(:foo).super_method.source_location super end
def parse(input, skip_code_comments: false, ignore_whitespace: true) # do stuff end
method(:parse).parameters #=> [[:req, :input], [:key, :skip_code_comments], [:key, :ignore_whitespace]]
config.thing = { "foo" => "bar" } config.thing.freeze = {
"foo" => "bar" } config.thing.delete("foo") # active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:151:in `delete': can't modify frozen Hash (RuntimeError) # from active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:151:in `yield_shares' # from active_support/concurrency/share_lock.rb:79:in `block in stop_exclusive'
