An Interview with the Creator of Ruby

Stewart: Did you have a guiding philosophy when designing Ruby?
Matz: Yes, it's called the "principle of least surprise." I believe people want to express themselves when they program. They don't want to fight with the language. Programming languages must feel natural to programmers. I tried to make people enjoy programming and concentrate on the fun and creative part of programming when they use Ruby.
