If you want 100% OOP then use Ruby:

rb> [3,100,-20].sort.join('<#>')
-20<#>3<#>100

Ruby is great from this angle! The reading proceeds naturally from
right to left. I have become accustomed to reading Python's nested
function calls however it does feel much more natural in Ruby. Of
course, there are architectural reasons why Python cannot do this
linear syntactical processing which lends some paradigm-al niceties to
the python programmer that are not available to the Ruby folks.
