Yes, people are stupid, but you're very smart.
what was this used for besides ruby on rails
>>108346956being pedantic about "sending messages to objects" instead of "calling" things for 15 years before someone wrote a shitty web framework for it.
>>108346963So it’s for very lonely people who want to talk to their objects
>>108346668It's nice though.
>>108346956RPG Maker used it for at least one version.
>>108346956Before people wanted to use javascript for everything or rust for everything, all the cool kids were using ruby for everything. People even wanted to do embedded projects with ruby. (https://github.com/hybridgroup/artoo) Github is littered with abandoned projects from that era. It's a nice language, if you like OOP.
There was funky tutorial for ruby with cartoon foxes and hipster comics. Forgot the name, but that was like (takes a hit from a bong) culture, man
>>108346668its not that badt. has never used it a day in his life
>>108346668>You don't understand! I can't get a boner unless it's Statically typed Java with GoF!
>>108348345>create funny cartoon tutorial book on Ruby>eventually get replaced by the next best thing>"eventually" being within a literal 2 years or so because we constantly crave new bullshit>complain about it, then leave>people dox the shit out of youFOSS is, in fact, the most toxic community on the internet.
>>108346956It's a fantastic shell scripting language.

>>108346668ruby is japanese?
>>108346668Yeah, fuck Ruby and fuck Perl
ughmm likeee its a japanese programming language, you have to be very high icq to get it.I will advice you to watch some anime (japanese animation) to really understand what it is about.
>>108347422thats not wrong way of thinking about runtimes.. though every theory is only as good as its implementation. doesnt mean its false theory, i believe in runtimes too.--i dont like mishmashed base syntax of Ruby> The syntax and design of Ruby were influenced by several earlier languages. Its creator, Yukihiro Matsumoto, combined ideas mainly from Perl (for flexible scripting and text-processing style), Smalltalk (for the pure object-oriented model where everything is an object), Eiffel (for object-oriented design concepts), Ada (for exception-handling ideas), and Lisp
>>108348448A Japanese Mormon, no less.
>>108346668Is that Diamond Rush? I used to love that game.
Of all the object-oriented languages Ruby has always felt the least awful to me.I'm happier with a functional language with a half-decent type system, but if I can't have that, Ruby has decent functional-ish tools and the object side has fewer gotchas and fewer obviously-wrong choices than others I've used. It's still got problems, just fewer of them than Python, Perl, Java, and so on.
It is used by the guy who wrote the lisp for Crash Bandicoot and Jackhttps://all-things-andy-gavin.com/tag/lisp/
>>108348417Wait, he got doxxed?
>>108348345I am remembering this nowI went on a family vacation when I was 16 and had a laptop and I was making a little ruby text game and looking at that
how much nip linguistical nuance should I be aware of to before I learn this honoraburu language?
>>108351581>linguistical nuanceNigger, it's a syllable language with a limited set of phonemes. Under these circumstances there's only two things you can do to make it an actual language:>1. make words longer than your average German compound word (which Germans did without having such phoneme limitations)>2. just assign a bunch of random meanings to the same fucking wordGuess what the sudoku committers did.
ruby has a solid object model based on classes, messaging and blocks. plt wise, it's better than python.
>>108351721This is correct.
>>108350269yesthat’s why he yanked all his stuff off the Internet
>>108347272XP, VX and VX Ace were on Rubyall of them are notable for how slow they arealmost as slow as Game Maker at the time
>>108347422>cool kidsruby was always a hipster language, nobody actually cool used ruby>>108346956Config management bloatware like Puppet and Chef.
>>108347422years ago I saw a youtube conference about gameboy emulator in Ruby and it blew my mind
>>108346668Companies have shot themselves in the foot by using Ruby with ActiveRecord for what was a shitty startup in the 2010s
>>108352173>all of them are notable for how slow they areWhich has nothing to do with Ruby, to be fair. Most devs were just desperate to stay within the framework of the engine or its plugins, rather than expanding it. And no, I'm not a fanboi of Ruby - I only used it once for a small project to do something that would've otherwise required 100 common events.
