Your comment about Ruby is actually referring to the Rails framework. It also suffers for the slur.

  True, my problem with Ruby is stuff like having select/filter/find_all or map/collect and then frameworks also inventing their own conventions and this somehow being ruby philosophy. Also naming conventions like to_i to_a to_s to_h. And then the scoping rules. I'm not a fan of the language or the design philosophy and will avoid in all future projects. As for calling it retarded - it's the emotion it evokes, I don't find it particularly offensive - but thankfully I'm not from the pronoun declaring part of the world.

    Do you think that because you don't find it offensively personally, that it's 100% fine to say and anyone else who finds it distasteful is wrong?

      Tasteful is subjective by definition. In a casual conversation on a anonymous forum ? I don't really see the issue. The only people that might be offended here are authors of RoR but then again, I have no qualms about offending them since their designs caused me a lot of pain the year I worked on a project written with it.
