Just my personal feeling.. but I'd hope to avoid stuff like this in
ruby.
It is fun, powerful and absolutely intrinsic and hard to understand.

I'm not saying this is really bad, just I'd prefer this does'nt
appear.
I strongly believe 'explicit is better than implicit'.
plus, a single line:
map, count,weight={},0,1
would make this work. Not so much a big cost for me :)

If you're going to say 'no, let me explain, this is really clean and
intuitive' please consider that i really think this is hard to grasp
