old = ruby (rails). New = Java.
- engineerDave 5y agoAs a ruby dev this completely makes sense to me based on the Java developers I have worked with. I'm willing to bet he also never even considered jRuby as a happy compromise, also basing this on my experiences with the Java developers I have worked with
- irvingprime 5y agoI've also noticed that most Java devs dislike Ruby just as much as I (a ruby dev) dislike Java. But the guy who made this decision had never done development in Ruby, Java, or anything else. He was a former db administrator who went into management.
- scruple 5y agoI've actually seen a (Sales) executive, without a seconds worth of technical experience, bad mouth Ruby / Rails in meetings. He would say that it was a competitive disadvantage to use it. He would say that if our customers found out we used Ruby on Rails that they'd leave us. He had a few other things he would repeatedly say about it. It was all so bizarre. FWIW, he was fired after about 18 months on the job (for reasons unknown to me).
