Arturo's wroclove.rb 2018 lightning talk on why Ruby developers love Ruby and how the community keeps experimenting with more expressive syntax. Reviews Elixir's pipe operator as an influence, Ruby 2.5's introduction of yield_self as a partial 'pipe' substitute, and blog posts and Ruby tracker discussion around method references. Presents his own `methods` gem (gem install methods) inspired by a prototype from 'CBen', which lets you reference public methods of other objects and private methods of self, with bonus features like pre-applying parameters, carrying keyword arguments, and carrying blocks. Deliberately prevents referencing private methods of another object ('we are not like Python').
