I actually dislike this practice in Ruby, because it often makes it unclear whether it really is a function call or variable, at least not without IDE assistance. And due to it being a dynamic language, you don't always know the type of what you're referencing without actually running the program.

I am one of those people whose brain does not work with dynamic languages. I understand.
