      @avdi BTW: I found Matz's comments about Smalltalk's control flow structures in Beautiful Code to be pretty interesting.

      @wycats @avdi Interesting. Though in practice, control flow isn’t the weirdest part of working in Smalltalk, at least not for me.

      @noelrap @avdi This is actually a strong difference from the @richhickey and @reactjs perspective that people over-value "familiarity"

          @wycats @noelrap yeah. And a lot of what people mean when they say code "looks right" is that it looks familiar.

          @wycats @noelrap which is one reason I have a problem with the emphasis on "beauty" in Ruby circles

          @avdi @wycats @noelrap ... but this is only useful for teaching people who learned C - style langs first. (Admittedly a lot of people)

          @Baranosky @noelrap @wycats yep. Programming languages are all super weird from a novice point of view.

          @wycats @avdi my guess is most Rubyists that try, say Pharo will be more frustrated by the tooling (why can’t I use Vim) than the syntax.
