   @zatnosk Huh, really? I thought one of the main advantages of Ruby was its clean syntax

     @socks Sure it's got clean syntax. But I have no idea where values come from or how execution runs through a program.

     I was just looking at a file, and I have no idea if it was generating stuff or testing stuff.

     There's so much implicit context (I assume?) that I have no idea where to look to find ANYTHING.

     Why the hell is ruby such gibberish to read?

     I can deduce at least something on what's happening in LISP- or C-related language, but I have no idea what's going on when I try to read Mastodon's ruby code base. No clue. What.
