There's nothing magic about it. It is just ruby. And no need to wonder what else is there. It is all documented. All the methods are well named. It is hard to see how they could trip you up. I've been programming for a long time now. I remember when people would read the documentation for the libraries and frameworks they were using. Seems to have fallen out of fashion.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoI read the docs, and I thought it was all well designed too – the issue I took with it is that Ruby is so incredibly dynamic that it looked like a giant foot gun to me. Well, potentially at least. I know it's powerful in the right hands. I'm a lot happier with something like Rust, and it arguably comes down to personal preference. Ruby is awesome and fun to write. I'm not a good enough programmer to make it as productive as others in the long term though, especially when working on a large team.
