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

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 = {
