I don't know why people are being coy. This isn't some secret sauce.
Ruby is a frequent scripting language at Amazon. JRuby on Rails is (or was) a solid way to get a nice web app running for internal use without interfacing with Spring. The AWS SDK is pretty great for internal tools that need to interact with S3.
It honestly isn't super interesting, but it's a well-supported platform internally.
- myroon5 7y agoDefinitely not going to disagree with usage being frequent, but I wouldn't say Ruby is well-supported internally with respect to IDE support
- blandflakes 7y agoI'm not sure what IDE support Amazon is supposed to provide WRT Ruby. Does Amazon develop and provide excellent Python or Perl IDE support? Even the Coral plugins for JVM IDEs were pretty rough.
