50+ Devs working on a single project/codebase tend to get messy/chaotic. I don't think it's worth blaming this on Ruby/Rails.
Over time I learned that Ruby and Rails are as told easy to learn, but sadly you'll need some time to master the Language/Framework. And the difference is quite big and easy to overlook once you do.
- chihuahua 3y agoPeople like to say that it's easy to learn, and "fun" and "efficient". The opposite is true. Of all the languages I've learned (Pascal/C/C++/Java/C#/Hack/Go/Scala) it's by far the most difficult. For the following reasons: - it makes a lot of unconventional/strange design decisions - the nature of the language makes it difficult for IDEs to offer good support (e.g. autocomplete, show what methods you can call on a given object) - it encourages people to write unreadable code to show how clever they are All of these things are the opposite of fun and efficient and easy-to-learn.
