My problem is that I am not a Ruby dev and when I need to use Ruby stuff they break each other. I expect a language to be able to produce self-contained binaries which run in isolation (and expect this to being the norm). With Ruby I just follow the guides and I always end up in a hour long debug session. If you need your users to know they need bundler or whatever then your language design is flawed.
- yebyen 10y agoAh, then you do have a problem! I am a Ruby dev, and one of the things I appreciate most about the language is that once I broke down the initial barriers we're talking about now, there was practically nothing stopping me from saying "I am a Ruby dev" It was still years after that before I would dare to say I was a Rails dev, of course... IMHO it is a feature if your language guides people that are at first just passive users to become devs and contribute to your project with issues and pull requests.
