MUDs are played over network or on a multiuser mainframe, in realtime. DOS (and windows) machines back then were single user and networks for them were rare, specialized and/or asynchronous, like BBS.

I've played a MUD and accidentally learned Perl once.

unreadable perl?! I clicked on the link expecting something super-terse and unstructured, but it's anything but. What the hell is wrong with people casually dropping such remarks.

but it's also very extendable. It's ability to slap on new control structures and DSL's is on par with Lisp. I'd say it's very low level and much higher level than the most languages simultaneously.

I started on Perl as well back in a day, and used it long enough to get a list of things I didn't like, though I liked the basic principles. Ruby really is a Perl without unnecessary parts, which are surprisingly many. I remember notic

I wonder in which language you think 1m locs would be manageable for an actual monolith (and not just a monorepo). And method_missing is a such fundamental part of the language, that it obvious you skipped basic docs on the language. Beside

You can have indentation based syntax and ; for multiple statements in one line, or something even more powerful. But it doesn't matter. Main power of blocks is not being multiline or being closure-like, many languages have this. But b

nobody serious uses indentation as a bad point against Python. Ruby pretty much could work with indentation instead of "end" almost without drawbacks. Maybe irb would be slightly less convenient, and that's it. Whitespace IS

I like ruby much more than python for many reasons, but that's one of those articles which present a lot of arguments so dubious and subjective that it almost convinces the reader that it's actually the opposite of what the title

"tech bankruptcy"! this is a VERY strong sentiment. First of all, I've never seen a rails-based company which has it problems from tech department, and not from product market fit or whatever, and that's in a 18 year car

problem is that it does too much out of the box. Finding some sloppy formatting - ok. Fixing it automatically? even better. But rubocop tries to sniff "code smells", security problems, and it's not that great with it, not eve

I also am not sure why it's intuitive at all. Article doesn't mention why - ruby has a parse phase, it doesn't scan your string byte for byte every time it runs looking for an interpolation. During the parse those "foo#{

strange, I think default rubocop setting is actually to add spaces around = in default values in functions. https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/rubocop/RuboCop/Cop/Layout/Spa... this is an override in you

this isn't true for any half-ass interpretator out there. Perhaps some old PHP executable was slower with different quotes, but it's not true for ruby for decades. In bytecode there's zero distinction between "" and

Nice. Now we can probably ask to move there half of the too nosy rubocop rules from the main rubocop repo. And then to never install rubocop-obsession!

if you prefer to use cat just to read your pipeline from left to right, you can just start your command with file redirection. It doesn't have to be at the end of the command. <file grep something | do something else ... this

aiming it and keeping it on target would be pretty hard, though. And time-consuming, to say the least.
