As Python uses zero-based indexing, when you try to access an element at an index less than 0 or greater than or equal to the list’s length, you trigger this error.

An Introduction to RuboCop for Ruby on Rails

Good code has a lot to do with how readable it is. As developers, we more often read code than write it. As my Perl teacher told us many times: the flexibility of Perl's syntax was its best and worst trait at the same time. Ruby's syntax was influenced partly by Perl and is also quite flexible.
