Agreed. When newer languages can out perform out of the box, this feels like throwing resources at nostalgia and the personally sacrosanct identity of one retired computer scientist. At the end of the day code is optimized portable machine state for a given task. The syntax is arbitrary. More cynically, Python, Ruby, have hurt as many projects as they’ve helped. Their slowness has wasted countless cycles. Now we can quantify it rather than be lost to the hype we felt learning this “magic” to begin with. With respect, Guido; this feels like a vanity project for a bored retiree, soaking up human effort and real agency. Perhaps you should have simply stayed retired and learn a new hobby.
