I always find talking about Ruby fascinating, because it's so divisive and for good reason.

It's one of those things where you either love it or hate it. The first moment I saw a question mark denoting a boolean, I fell in love with Ruby right then and there, but I also perfectly understand why people hate that. Same with stuff like `unless`, whenever I use a different language I'm always tempted to make a small utility class with all the Ruby niceties like `unless`, and that's another thing I can completely understand not liking.
