This is never acceptable in Ruby. Ever.

$_variable2 = String.new("development")

Nathan says:

Hahaha! Wow... that's... that's impressively terrible. It's hard to imagine packing more terribleness into one line.

Hampton says:

I can make it worse... Kernal.send(:eval, %|$_variable2 = String.new("development")|)
