I'm 100% with you on simplicity, elegance and beauty. I just demand that as much from the design of the languages I use as from my own code.

I've tried to explain it like this. To me ruby feels Turtles all the way down with respect to Objects, but some kind of nightmare tunnel of interleaved beasts down with Functions.

I don't think I should have to make that compromise, so I'll happily go about writing my ruby when I have to, but I'm waiting for the language that is consistent all the way down.

If I could replace every yield I've ever written in ruby with a .call() I would be so much happier :)
