"The talk is dense and necessarily glosses over a lot of subtleties. I talk about the Zen of Python, monkey patching (several times), the Ruby community's reckless hastiness, the syntax of RSpec and cucumber, beauty and ugliness in languages and testing tools, the complexity of the languages' grammars, syntactic vs. semantic complexity, the relative taste of grasshoppers and tree bark, etc., etc. There's way too much here to give anything a fair treatment. I hope that you'll keep this in mind while watching, avoid interpreting the talk as a claim to absolute truth, and simply enjoy it for what it is.
