Page 154. A fox is lost in a freaky animal city, stuck at a payphone, looking for a pickup truck.

Above it, @yboulkaid wrote in teal:

Youssef photographs eclipses with Ruby and brews potions with linear programming. Youssef knows weird.

def love?(lang) = lang.weird?
love?(Ruby) # => true

The foxes agree. Freaky cities are the best ones. Nobody stares at a fox on a payphone.
