I have also strayed away from Ruby so I'm out of touch too. The arbitrariness helped get me into Ruby and helped get me out. It's cool if that's your sort of thing but as I get older I'm starting to dislike arbitrary things more and more.
Anyway, I didn't realize who I was replying to when I replied to your first comment. I've seen a few of your presentations and read a lot of your work and I'm a fan.
- steveklabnik 6y agoI think we followed similar paths; I still love Ruby but my tastes have changed. Rails is still really hard to beat in its area though. Thank you!
- joelbluminator 6y agoI think we're all really great in cherry-picking something lacking in a language and then describing the whole eco-system as bad. What language are you using now? Were there seriously no bad design decisions made in said language?
- vikeri 6y agoIf you like dynamic languages I find it hard to pick out poor design decisions in Clojure.
- cutler 6y agoYes Clojure is the only language which surpasses Ruby in composability.

Just putting it out here to emphasise the point that ALL languages have controversial parts.
