Loving a language on account of things that have nothing to do with the language seems kind of weak to me. I love the people, communities, and tools that surround python, but if they all disappeared tomorrow I'd still use it.
- crazydiamond 17y agoI think you were replying to my last line. I only added that since I had mentioned some gripes and i wanted to avoid someone getting upset and saying "if you don't like it, go elsewhere". I have my reasons to love working in ruby, most of all is probably how easy it made my work. I have come from other languages which i initially loved but then found too verbose and cumbersome and sort of strait-jacketing. That there are some issues with ruby (such as repositories, or obsolete gems -- a problem with perl and other languages too) should not make me dislike it. Cheers.
