There's the lede. :)
- shevy-java 10mo agoIt kind of makes sense. I feel that Ruby is a nicer syntax sugar over C at the end of the day.
- draw_down 10mo ago[dead]
- block_dagger 10mo agoThat is a surprising take. I wouldn't describe Ruby that way at all.
- dismalaf 10mo agoWhat? Ruby has very little in common with C, it's just implemented in C... Ruby is more like Smalltalk and Perl had a baby...
- lioeters 10mo agoBest quote of the year so far. Love me some C. He continues: "C++. Well, I've programmed in it but it's kind of like, please spare me - so I prefer C." I also liked this part: > ..From a specification perspective, Lisp and SmallTalk are like seniors to me. There's a lot I can reference from them. They're like a treasure trove of ideas. If anything, I often go to them, get ideas, and incorporate them into Ruby.
