Will Ruby ever have another hype moment like 10-15 years ago?
Isn't it an objectively inferior language? Used as a placeholder at best? (There are people actually learning a placeholder language, that's wild).
>>101576074No.
>>101576074It's a great language but tech industry people are fashionistas. Massive JS libraries are fashionable right now.
>>101576074No because JS, Java, C++, Python, Go and C# have all gotten leaps and bounds better to use over the last 15 years. There simply isn't a need for Ruby across any problem domain anymore.
>>101576074most likely not.what rails brought has been adopted, or bettered, in other languages, and those languages also have better performance.rails is now a bit insular and the changes are the inclusion of a bunch of not-invented-here stuff from 37signals.other libraries are being slowly abandoned.
>>101576074Isn't Ruby the language that let's people (absolutel fucking faggots) redefine primitive types like int, string etc to be something else? I vaguely remember something like this and vaguely remember thinking lmao that sounds like a schwerer gustav level footgun.
I love the aesthetics of Ruby but I hate the syntax.
>>101576785yes. it's called "monkeypatching". it's very footgun.
