Ruby = dead

Ruby is at the backbone of infrastructure as code and configuration management. It's becoming more and more popular with systems folks, and rails is still a great platform for quickly making CRUD apps.

no

Node isn't a framework you fucking retard.

Crystal, it's in alpha right now, it's basically statically typed & compiled Ruby

You are worsening the politicization of software development by overassociating technologies with those who use them. Fuck off.

Through my whole career, I always segregate people into one of the following categories:

> My tools in life provide me with my identity
> My tools in life provide me with possibilities

People in the first group must be compensating for something else missing in their life.
Ideally everyone should fit into the second category and find identity in much more meaningful things

I used to love ruby. But the more I used it, the more I got sick of non-existing respect of backwards compatibility. So fuck it, using mostly python and bash now.

What the fuck am I reading here?

Just checked at a bigger job portal, there are 8 times (!) more Rails jobs than for Django.

And even for pure Ruby: about 19,566

Also Ruby got a lot of growth in popularity in the last two years:
>tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ruby/


Last but not least we are all waiting for Ruby3x3, which will is announced for 2019 or 2020 and it will be 3 times as fast as Ruby2. It will blow anything out of the water.


Bottom line:
Ruby is more alive than ever, Rails5 is great and there is a lot of things to expect in the future.

>reddit

Stopped reading here.

>I was interested of state of Ruby these days
user, I want to believe that you weren't genuinely thinking reddit is a good resource to check "the state" of a programming language.

I understand that the vast majority of Sup Forums are either underage or CS students who don't know shit, but you should have at least some basic adequacy to understand that the opinion of Sup Forums (or some subreddits) should by no mean influence your own world-views as listening to someone who doesn't know shit is a generally bad idea.
