Same as Lambda, why Python but not Ruby support?
- cdnsteve 11y agoI've noticed this as well on all platforms. Google Cloud, Azure, AWS - Python seems to be getting support first.
- lindydonna 11y agoIt might be a chicken and egg problem, but on Azure Web Apps, Python is much more popular than Ruby. This might be because of Windows vs. Linux, but that's where things are at right now.
- crandycodes 11y agoHonest answer: we need to improve the Ruby experience, in general, on App Service before we'd prioritize Ruby support. We want to improve Ruby for App Service in the near future, so I can imagine Ruby support on Functions later on.
- tszming 11y agoThanks for the reply. One more question: Is it still true that your team must develop service on top of Windows? Can your team use Linux? (I cannot see the direct relationship between these cloud services and Windows, except C# support)
- crandycodes 11y agoI use a Mac for my daily driver, honestly. We are built on Windows because that's what App Service uses. If App Service adds Linux and Ruby support, we'll definitely light that functionality up on Functions. :)
- lindydonna 11y agoMicrosoft has been more open to Linux lately, so if App Service supports it, then Functions will as well.
