RoR was a breath of fresh air when it was released, things could be done quicker and with much fewer lines of code but nowadays I don't think I would choose to use it again. Other languages has caught up.
- Towaway69 11mo agoRoR isn’t Ruby. The mistake that most folks make. They start out using RoR and think that’s Ruby. That’s probably why Ruby will always remain a “web” language and won’t be taken _seriously_ in other areas.

- spidey1 11mo agoA couple of nice projects I can think of are DragonRuby [1] - a 2d engine that uses SDL under the hood and mruby for its game logic. I created this [2] game jam entry in under two weeks of part time effort (has a few bugs but works) [3] Sonic Pi - Music creation tool that uses ruby for instruction [1]: https://dragonruby.org/ https://dragonruby.org/ [2]: https://itch.io/jam/linux-game-jam2023/rate/2101760 https://itch.io/jam/linux-game-jam2023/rate/2101760 [3]: https://sonic-pi.net/ https://sonic-pi.net/
