No, its not. Ruby as a language is about as complex as they come.
It is easy to get to a productive state though, but that is not the same thing as having learned the language. Length of learning curve and accessibility are vastly different things.
- lerno 5y agoGetting productive easily is the pretty much the definition of not having a steep learning curve. So I have difficulties making sense of your argument.
- foxfluff 5y agoyxhuvud referred to length of the learning curve, not slope of the learning curve. Even if getting started is easy (no steep slope), mastery can take long.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoPython is the same. It's easy to write simple code, but once you get deep enough, the skeletons come out of closet.
