I tried picking up Ruby some time ago, when RoR was at its popularity peak and seemingly everyone couldn't shut up about how “elegant" and fun Ruby was. After trying it... I can say that it's for sure someone's idea of

The main issue with ontologies, and the reason why they're not popular besides a few niche cases, is that they try to solve a fundamentally unsolvable problem: getting (a large amount of) humans to agree on a "correct" modell

I don't know why a library has to be necessarily small in size. Having micro packages that only do one tiny thing would only lead to a npm-like hellscape, and Serde is the most complete option in the Rust ecosystem. In my opinion it&#x
