I don't use Ruby. I would if it had types. My language of choice right now is TypeScript because it has the best balance of types and dynamism.

- dismalaf 1y agoSo you're forming an opinion without trying it? This is just a rehash of the discussions people were having about Smalltalk/Lisp 20 years ago... All the Java/C++ IDE people who were wondering how people survived without those tools, forgetting that Smalltalk/Lisp have live-coding, REPLs, and their own tools. Ruby is the same, the terseness + REPL/live-coding makes it easy to be productive and write bug-free code. I know I'm far, far more productive in Ruby versus, say, C++ or Odin (my newest hobby language).
