> Ruby's shorter and clearer.

I would say the different is negligible here and claiming one is more clear than the other is purely preferential. Coming from a JS background the JS is more clear but not substantially enough for me to claim it is outright more clear a language syntax. Someone coming from a ruby background may argue the other direction.

Some languages are quite different but you are splitting hairs here and trying to be conclusive about it.
