[Confusion]

Boring arm chair language criticism. I have programmed professionally in Ruby for 5 years and it has never been a problem. You may as well complain that the ability to import an identifier leads to confusion about which identifier from which namespace you are calling when you reference one. I have 99 gripes about Ruby, but this ain't one.

I just started working with Ruby on Rails a few weeks ago and I think the so-called "elegant" syntax is the reason why I went with it. That and the fact that Rails is a joy to work with.
