- saurik 16y agoI'm actually serious in my curiosity: why do you care what language something is written in, as long as it work and is efficient enough for your use case? Why does it matter that these other programs were written in (I don't see why you said "for", so I'm going to use "in") Ruby? (The wish to control the syntax is fair, I'm just curious why you threw in that other reason regarding languages.)
- tjholowaychuk 16y agobecause it is beneficial to have these sorts of libraries written in the language you develop in... you dont need to install another language, you can interact with the native API instead of IPC etc...
