I've been doing Ruby for some 15 years now and the major thing that puts me off is the community's love for implicitness.

This is another case: we had a way that requires a programmer to explicitly define what she is forwarding and where she is forwarding it to. And now we have a way that requires the reader of software to know the intricacies of the language in order to understand how the "magic" works.

I truly fail to see how this makes a language better.
