Hackernews has a surprising amount of Ruby news over the large few months. As Ruby is my first true (=production) love, I'm here for it.
I've spent the last years in Python land, recently heavily LLM assisted, but I'm itching to do something with Ruby (and or Rails) again.

I am really curious to the reason, my assumption has been because Ruby is going through some kind of renaissance. The performance improvements the Ruby team & Shopify did seem to have gained attraction maybe?
- saint_yossarian 2y agoThere was also the recent Rails 8 release, which had some really nice improvements: https://rubyonrails.org/2024/11/7/rails-8-no-paas-required https://rubyonrails.org/2024/11/7/rails-8-no-paas-required
- aarmenaa 2y agoMaybe some people don't remember anymore, but there was a time when Ruby was HN's favorite language. I miss those days. I kind of get why everybody leaned into Python instead, but I'm never going to be happy about it.
