Someone asked why not swap to Elixir or Rust, but why not actually swap to the sysadmins dream of Ruby?

- Johnny_Brahms 12y agoI would love that. Ruby has become my go-to language for quick scripts, even in places where bash does the job. Bash is for things where I can keep everything in my head and there aren't too many lines. Ruby for everything else.
- task_queue 12y agoI don't know a sysadmin on this planet that dreams of using Ruby as systems scripting language. That sounds like hell. Again, its the trade off between a relatively simple port and adopting a new language with different standards, technical difficulties and culture.
