- dkarapetyan 12y agoRuby is already very DSL friendly so writing something on top of it that at the end of the day just compiles down to Ruby does not provide the same kind of power/effort ratio as in the Python case. Plus there's already elixir which covers similar territory.
- gingerlime 12y agoTrue. But being able to use something like actors or functional constructs, immutable data structures etc from within rails for example, could be neat. If it's baked into the language this way it enforces those ideas better. Using elixir could be great but it's a much bigger jump from the ruby ecosystem.
