I’d like to use this to voice my appreciation for Ruby. Its ergonomics, flexibility, elegance and power continue to bring me joy and make me smarter every day.
It is incredibly malleable and yet pure. It carries a certain warmth and kindness that permeate its community.
It becomes faster every couple of years :)
I feel so grateful to work with a language that makes me feel like a wizard and look forward to writing code.
The community is so incredibly creative, smart and generous that I feel humbled every day.
- jack_riminton 5y agoI second this. There's something about the language that makes the community incredibly welcoming (or is it vice versa?) Whereas the impression I get of the javascript community is that everyone is paranoid about doing the hottest new thing, like "oh you're still using x? how quaint, haven't you heard everyone is using y now?"
- kayodelycaon 5y agoRuby was built for programmer happiness and has always had a passionate community. During the height of its popularity, it was just like JavaScript with the paranoia. Now it’s a mature language and things are settled down. I miss _why and the whimsy the language had before.
