I can definitely see in Ruby how the designer was trying for a "natural

actually going to get parsed as I intended.
First time I used ruby, I did something like
a = 1 * (4
+ 5
+ 6)
cuz you can do that in python and you would expect ruby to be similar.
So I scratched my head for about an hour trying to figure out why a was
always 6. I don't know why, but ruby ignores the 4 and 5 unless they are
all on the same line.
That was about the last time I used ruby.
