#2A big shoutout to the author to include the Nokogiri installation "experience"... :D Well done!

#4Very well done, esp. the nokogiri bit :D
That said if you're in Ruby land and do want something "shiny", I'd encourage you to look at Jeremy Evans work (Roda and Sequel in particular) and some of the broader ecosystem beyond Rails. There's a lot of good stuff beyond just Rails :)

I use Sequel and the Parallel gem all the time. Good stuff.

#6It's too bad Ruby isn't seen as 'cool' anymore, it's just so easy to be productive in it. And now MJIT, YJIT and TruffleRuby are making some very impressive performance gains. Rails is also better than ever and I still can't think of a better language for scripting.

#7> For I once again have trouble installing Nokogiri.
One could consider https://rubygems.org/gems/oga, as it doesn't have any installation problems. It's not actively maintained though (mostly because the author considers it to be complete). I do think the author is a bit of a weirdo though :)

I have similar problems in Python with OpenCV. It should be so simple, but generally is not (or at least last I tried)

#10One of my goals for 2022 is to write my first real web app. I want to understand things like authentication, creating an API, and security. My initial impression is that the JS/Node world is miserable. Rails looks 1000 times more pleasant.
