People should. I seriously miss using it at my day job. It's not for code where type systems make things a lot more stable, but it's great for scripting and quick things. Also ORMs in ruby are truly nice, and I haven't found anything as good anywhere else. Generally speaking Ruby has the best APIs. | ||

Frameworks and packages, sure. I’m not sure I would agree with APIs. ActiveAdmin is best in class, Rails is fantastic; but there’s a lot of insanity in the API for a language that “gets out of the way” and “just works” Slice is my favorite example. (It’s been a bit since I’ve used it) For a “give me an array back that starts from a given, arbitrary index, and auto-handle truncation” not having that behavior continues to confuse me from an intuitive perspective. Yes, I understand the source of it, but why? | ||
