It could be more positive than despise for another language. The preference for a language might be out of emotional attachment at the specific workflows in which that toolchain allowed creativity to flow. And if you have an AI coder LLM that gave you good output with one training and performed poorly with another, would you say that the one with good output is worthless because was good at {{insertYourLeastFavouriteTechHere}}?

The preference for a language might be out of emotional attachment at the specific workflows in which that toolchain allowed creativity to flow. For sure. Ruby gives me warm fuzzies a lot more than Python simply because I first started "seriously" programming in the era when Ruby, Rails, and TextMate dominated back end web development and was on board the RoR train. Preference of this sort can also be driven by little things that some might consider inconsequential… those bits and pieces can be what makes the difference for someone in determining if a language is enjoyable to write or not.
- sebastianconcpt 3y agoAnd out of curiosity what are you using more these days that isn't Ruby?
- jwells89 3y agoWell I moved away from web development to native mobile, so these days Swift and Kotlin. If I were to pick web dev back up though, there's a good chance it'd be with Ruby+Rails or Elixir+Phoenix.
- sebastianconcpt 3y agoI saw a Phoenix demo recently and yeah, looks productive.
