And when you say that they are part of the Ruby community, it's sad, but I said to myself - why doesn't that surprise me. It's said that the community behind a really useful language has that type of reputation.
To tell you the truth, it's part of why I moved to python.
- stoprock 14y agoI take it you haven't seen @zeeg's tweets on the subject, then: https://twitter.com/zeeg https://twitter.com/zeeg Sorry to disillusion you about the Python community. Personally, part of the reason I stopped using Python heavily professionally in 2007 is because I was sick of hearing and reading Python web developers regularly disparage Ruby and the "Ruby community," a tradition carried on in comments like yours to this day.
- zeeg 14y agoAre you suggesting I was talking bad about the Ruby community? I openly dislike Ruby (as a language), but I swear this project was written in Node, which I also dislike. Oh, and I could care less which language something is written in, my simple, trollish tweet, was only based on the usability aspect.
- chris_wot 14y agoYeah, about trollish tweets... you might offend someone.
- petercooper 14y agoIt's sad that the community behind a really useful language has that type of reputation. Though not as sad as when intelligent people fall hook, line and sinker for unfair reputations formed and paraded by third parties displaying as much commonsense as those who used to stereotype others by race or gender in times past.
