Ruby is only dying in the sense that C is dead. It's not that exciting, but instead is widely used, including by companies. Additionally, I doubt gem releases

Ruby is only dying in the sense that C is dead. It's not that exciting, but instead is widely used, including by companies.
Additionally, I doubt gem releases correlate with language 'vitality'. Fewer releases may simply indicate library stability.
- mitchty 13y agoToo true, I'm writing more C lately than ruby. Then again I'm not a rails fan and I need to interface with ioctls more than oauth or whatever. So C fits much better in my domain space. That and command line apps in ruby, well there like perl with cpan modules, sheer pain to manage across systems. Versus static link in archive files and make a package.
