what happened?
>still runs github and shopify tho
any other reason to use based beautiful Ruby?
damn im sad it went into obscurity
Ruby programming
Ever run GitLab? It's the most bloated piece of shit ever. Avoid Ruby, even more bloated than Java
how is it bloated tho>
Its virtual machine allocs every bit of memory on your server
Java is literally the best language tho
Ruby is a fine language. And it's C interface makes it really easy to write low level libraries for apps.
JS happened
Good morning, sir.
I said java, not javascript
The syntax is beautiful, they just need to improve the performance of the implementation.
Ruby is max comfy but kind of useless.
>Gems have shit support
>Took the TMTOWTDT Perl philosophy way too fucking far
>Interpreter doesn't have terribly robust optimization paths
>No Cython equivalent for precompiled speed bonuses
It's really fun to use and in the right circumstances can save a ton of time, but it's just unfortunately a slow and poorly supported language.
GOOD MORNING SIR!
Sir please, do not redeem
it gave us RPG Maker
OMG SOMEONE REMEMBERS
Metaexploit and RPG Maker are fine, but RoR created the cancerous Sillicon Valley JS framework glitterboy culture so it undermines a lot of its value for me. Also for parroting how much they evolved from le bad Perl they end doing exatcly the same shit but slower, an unreadable mess of custom syntax everywhere. At least Perl is fast for its niche (and honestly not that different from Javascript nowadays) Still not a mystery why Python overthroned both.
Ruby is a toy language, despite its creator claiming all other languages are.
It was a necessary bootstrap for the startup economy as we know it today. There was a takeoff, it's more important than the collateral damage.
You are a toy language
a. JS wasn't any faster when it made Ruby obsolete.
b. Rails doesn't need any faster language when 90% of the time is spent in database calls
>Still not a mystery why Python overthroned both.
Because people who have no business programming are shilling it.
