This reminds me of when I tried learning Ruby. The tutorial I read started by talking about how elegant and beautiful Ruby could be, and how easy it is to read and understand Ruby at first glance, even if you’re new to it. Then they explained that the toString method in Ruby is called `.to_s()` and that lambda arguments were surrounded by pipe characters and I was like “wat”.
