"Sidenote but I'm thankful to Matz for creating a language that makes disciplined programmers able to create highly maintainable code bases"

I agree with that. The "disciplined programmers" part is, however, the reason that I think that Ruby should be a reward for programmers who make it through C programming classes first.

Ruby's a great language, and a lot of fun to program with, but the same characteristics that make it an enjoyable language to use also make it possible for undisciplined programmers to get things done.
