No fun for you, maybe. And I can see where you’re coming from. I often find it very fun, though, which has prevented me from porting an API to another language

No fun for you, maybe. And I can see where you’re coming from. I often find it very fun, though, which has prevented me from porting an API to another language like Go or (gasp) Swift. Ruby gives a lot of flexibility, and in my line of work (especially with covid mitigations) there are lots of immediate change requirements; flexibility is very important. That flexibility provides the ability to shoot yourself in the foot (and I’ve surely done it), but it also allows us to pull off events that have suddenly changed with little warning. I like that.
- theonething 6y ago> pull off events that have suddenly changed with little warning. Excuse my ignorance. What are the events you reference here?
- ultrarunner 6y agoI work for an event company, and in many cases much of it is orchestrated by Ruby code, including a few rails apps.
- theonething 6y agoaha. I wasn't sure if you were taking about events on the software side.
- ultrarunner 6y agoImagine the naming conventions on the software side :)
