Philisophy of Ruby

to emphasize feeling
orthogonality, simplifing through combining and reducing exceptions
- does not promote readability, understanding
many ways to do one thing
concise and succinct, like pseudo code that runs
express intent to computers to work for humans
minimize suprise, fewer nuances

Methods
collect input, do work, return value, handle errors

Strong Messages
foundation of OO system, sending messages to objects
id message intent, id corresponding roles, method logic uses objects of those roles
