My impression of Python, Ruby, etc. hasn't been that they're in either of those categories, though I'll grant you that they don't compete in the same space as C++...
- ProZsolt 7y agoI use Ruby(not Rails) daily. I love the language. It's really good for fast prototyping or small scrips but I can complain all-day long for how bad is to maintain big codebases because of the dynamic nature of it. I really miss type hints that can make this much easier.
- symlinkk 7y agoPeople complain about Python being dynamically typed, adding weird modern syntax that isn't intuitive, and breaking changes from 2.x to 3.x. People complain about Ruby being dead, or don't talk about it at all because it's not relevant anymore.
