This really is the exact same conclusion I have came to quite recently. All your point are strongly inline with mine.
I personally love how pragmatic Ruby is but its billion dollar null mistake + lack of typing + single threaded issues are glaring. But I still love the language and especially the community, my problem with switching over to Kotlin + SpringBoot is that lack of rails ecosystem web mindset. The SaaS web focused mindset doesn't really exist in Kotlin e.g no Phoneix LiveView/StimulusReflex competitors. Also while SpringBoot is suppose to be the like the Rails competitor I don't have access to my `rails routes` or `rails new` or `rails generate..`, the rails guys really focus on happiness.
Having said that with Project Loom coming and other JVM goodies it feels really good to be in the JVM ecosystem. It is very much the 'good enough for 95% cases' ecosystem.
- chillfox 6y agoCrystal is a bit like ruby, but with static types and multi treading is being worked on.
- bestinterest 6y agoHad a look there but its very far from reaching boring tech with regards to libraries also why Elixir is mostly a no go at the moment for me too. Love the look of Crystal though, basically ruby with all issues I mentioned fixed. Kotlin gets its pass on being boring with the great JVM compatibility imo.
