Though I used it for 2 years of it as my primary language at work, I never quite got used to Ruby's quirky idioms like this. It just reads badly to me, in terms of quickly understanding code flow, to have statements that start with "raise" or "return" which might not raise or return. Similar to the up-thread comment about assignment.
