Want something easy to host? Use PHP. Want something fast and simple? Use Go. Want something really fast and powerful? Use Rust. Want something ubiquitous, with lots of developers in the labor market? Use Java. Excuse my ignorance, but what is Ruby's strength?
So Ruby's catchphrase is "developer happiness". There you go.

Productivity. Also you can short circuit a lot of what you said with Crystal lang (for speed) or Ruby on Jets (for ease of deployment, serverless, etc). At Arist (YC S20), we were able to fully rebuild our app in Ruby on Jets, pass a pen test, get SOC 2 compliance, all in under 12 months. This frankly would have taken years if we couldn't lean on the Rails ecosystem, and our Appdex score is 0.999 typically, and we ar…
Yeah, Go's string-handling, coming from Ruby is like time travelling back to the Stone Age.
Started a new job in the past year and it's 50% rails, 50% react. Thought I would chafe after returning to ruby after ten years of nothing but JS and TS, but I quite like it. I only wish there was slightly less magic and a bit more declaration. It always weirds me out that Ruby just finds stuff without me having to 'import' or 'require' it. I have a love/hate relationship with much of the DSL stuff too (more 'magic')…
> Ruby just finds stuff without me having to 'import' or 'require' it. That's either bundler (which `require`s every dependency you specify unless you tell it not to) or the Rails autoloader[1] (which goes hunting for a file that might define the constant, which also allows hot-reloading to work). Ruby itself requires you to `require` everything. [1]: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/autoloading_and_reloading_con...

> they would see how far from "better ruby" is Crystal Are you accusing us both of lying? How strange.
would you mind to post your github/gitlab repositories with your Crystal projects? Looking here I couldn't find anyone https://github.com/yb66?tab=repositories&q=&type=source&lang...
Let's see if your accusations can hold up to Socratic questioning:
- If I haven't open sourced any Crystal projects does that mean I haven't written any?
- I have published several Ruby gems[0], when was the last commit or version bump for any of them? You're more interested that I am, tell me. I really should archive them, thanks for reminding me.
- You missed off my Gitlab, what was the last public contribution I made there? (hint[1])
- What's the last gem I created? I reckon it's this one that I didn't publish[2] because the Rack team changed a public API in such a dumb way that I'd have to rewrite it and then mucked me around with a pull request to Rack that one of the core team copy and pasted in as their own commit while arguing against the pull. Weird, but lovely people, like yourself. Meanwhile, your cookies lack security. Yes, I want to continue working within this language and ecosystem… Does the sarcasm come through in my writing?
- Why did you not check the Crystal repo?[3][4] Github has a search facility. Put my username in, and pick `commits` on the left.
- How did you miss the forks of Docopt.cr[5] and Fancyline[6]? They're right there in my public activity log. Did you not see the merges into Fancyline of my code?[7] I have more to give, just trying to find the time.
- Did you not see forks with commits such as xattr.cr[8], xdg.cr[9], and Pope.cr[10]
- You didn't see I'd provided a project[11] for Mint so it can be run easier with Docker Compose?
- Aside from that I have a whole host of changes to migrate.cr[12] still to push up. You can't know that but you might've guessed that I was at least working with that - and all the other forks of Crystal projects I have.
That is all public and not the half of the Crystal code I look at.
Should I expect an apology? If you were too cowardly to be straightforward with your accusations then I find it stretches credulity far beyond breaking that you could be big enough to provide one. We'll see, like you, I've been very wrong about people in the past.

> My initial impression is that the JS/Node world is miserable. Rails looks 1000 times more pleasant. God, yes. Especially with Hotwire [1], which advertises being able to do modern web apps with a minimum of JS. I've played around with it, and for me it completely eliminates the need for AngularJS/React/whatever. [1] https://hotwired.dev
Yes but Node's built-in async will scale a lot better especially if you're calling 3rd party services.

now that I read "accusing us both of lying".. how could you interpret it like that? What I can see by your code, you are ruby developer trying to learn Crystal. See you in the next ruby thread ;)

Sorry, looking through the forks, they are all in sync with master, and most your contributions are small. It is great, nothing against it. The only thing that I wanted to say is that as soon as you start to work in a real project with Crystal you realize that it is not just a better ruby and it comes with it's own set of problems, patterns and etc. So I don't see a point to cite Crystal as option to ruby in every th…
I don't think you understand how Git works, which probably explains why you missed all the repos I needed to point out to you.
> , and most your contributions are small
What have you ever contributed? Show me.
> The only thing that I wanted to say is that as soon as you start to work in a real project with Crystal you realize that it is not just a better ruby and it comes with it's own set of problems, patterns and etc.
How would you know? Please share the repo in which you found this out. What is a "real" project?
> So I don't see a point to cite Crystal as option to ruby in every thread about ruby.
You've contributed nothing of worth, not even a specific criticism of Crystal, let alone anything worth knowing about Ruby.
> That's my point.
Great point.

I don't value your opinion in this matter, you're simply trolling now.

I doubt we'll interact again.

LOL, you forked many repositories and didn't push any code. You just proved my point. Just people without experience in Crystal comes to ruby related threads to say "Dude, use Crystal". Happy learning <3
