I think I have a few "most favourite" technologies that all max out some principle or idea that I like. The author here really hits on exactly why Ruby is my favourite "get things done" language. Rust, Typescript, and Crystal are all things I've worked with, but nothing gets out of my way like Ruby. It feels like sketching? It's very expressive thanks to it's prose-y syntax, but also metaprogramming + reflection like you mentioned really makes forming an idea while developing possible, at least much more possible than most other careful correctness-ensuring paradigms. There's nuance to these things, and nothing is the best really. But I think satisfying a borrow handler or a type checker does slow down that flow for me. I'd pick up a brush if I know what I'm making for sure, but a piece of chalk if I'm just wanting to get something working. Personal taste of course!
