>if you're an experienced programmer from another language community, it'll take you longer—because you'll need to unlearn the habits you've picked up before that in Ruby might be considered a code smell. So much this :) I've been a C# developer for over 20 years and I also write quite a bit of Go. I recently decided to write my NFT app in RoR with backend / batch processes in pure Ruby, and having essentially minimal experience with Ruby it has taken a while to unlearn some of the things that are nearly instinctive to me with (particularly) C#. That said, so far I am really glad I did what I did. I love Ruby and I think it's incredibly underrated, especially vs Python (though Python is also a great language on its own). Once you really get a handle on Ruby (and Rails), it makes web dev a fun again.
