Magic is exactly why I stayed away from Ruby. You have to learn some for every environment but Ruby was too much for me. Perhaps because I first saw it with RoR

Magic is exactly why I stayed away from Ruby. You have to learn some for every environment but Ruby was too much for me. Perhaps because I first saw it with RoR - which adds even more magic.
- quetzthecoatl 9y agoBoth above and above one's parent comment is about rails, not about ruby. It's understandable that most people got familiarized with ruby because of the popularity of rails, but confusing between the two?
- shakna 9y agoI've written Ruby, not Rails. In fact, most of my Ruby work hasn't had anything to do with the technologies associated with the web, they've been desktop GUI applications and server applications (like dealing with ActiveDirectory). I'm not confusing anything, I'm speaking from experience. The Ruby community likes things that think for you, and insert methods unexpectedly, change the meaning of semantics, and all sorts of other magic designed to think for the programmer.
