So glad someone already spoke up about this -- I love Wired, and I think that piece is really poor (not because I love Ruby or think it's without fault, but because the argument it makes is essentially "it's not Ruby or Python, which have static typing tools.")

That Wired article might as well have been a GPT summary of the shit people have been saying about Ruby for two decades.

It is beyond stupid to continue to act like "it doesn't scale" is a real argument. Not every application is or will ever be Twitter.

Author has a history of bad-mouthing programming languages, that seems to be his meme: https://www.wired.com/author/sheon-han/
