- johntdaly 5y agoYup, but there is more. I think overall we as a community appear to show good taste in what we do (this is opinionated) and if we do something it tries to be as complete as possible. When I think of all the half backed JS projects I’ve looked at when searching for a solution and compare that with Ruby, there is a difference.
- jack_riminton 5y agoI am also biased but I also agree Things have been moving so quickly in the JS space and because the JS community is so prominent on Twitter. It's ended up with a lot of JS 'influencers' who feel they have to come up with a new hot-take on code smells or the latest cool new thing every week in order to stay relevant. They tend to default to exclusionary behaviours whereas Rails is a lot more friendly.
- regularfry 5y agoWhat's ironic is that there is (or... was. I've not been as active recently to see if it's still there) a marked difference even between the Rails community and the core Ruby community. The closer to Matz you get, the nicer people tend to be.
- RangerScience 5y agoMatz very nicely asked us to say "Ruby is Nice..." instead, because he's nice like that :D
