Maybe a lot of posts about Ruby now go to www.rubyflow.com...? I think this is a _really bad_ thing because by segregating all things Ruby, people on the outside perceive that Ruby is no longer relevant.
Some people say that Ruby is more popular now than ever. But if we don't see anyone talking about it on HN, it gives the impression that no thought-leaders are interested in it and that it's not worth learning.
I love Ruby, its community, and the community's values. I want to keep using Ruby for new projects, and not just for web apps. I've used SciRuby's dataframes, and I've also used Ruby to control LED lighting for side projects. But I also wish more people were doing more things with it.
- hackbinary 9y agoWhen we were reviewing which stack to consolidate our development on we considered Ruby/RoR/Chef/Puppet, but all the weirdness of RVM and 32/64bit trouble, plus Python seemed to have better support on Windows, so we went with Python/Django/Ansible. We love Ruby too, but being on one platform has been hugely helpful for us.
