On: What Pythonistas Think of Ruby

Why does that matter? The syntax should be clear to a capable Python developer, not someone who has never used Python.

I'm not suggesting that that particular syntax is or is not clear to said Python programmer, merely that the consideration for a Ruby programmer is useless.

Because "he's a Rubyist" is the reason he would say something like "you can't have Sinatra's clear syntax."
