I’ve found the Ruby community really cares about DUX. Not sure why it’s not in other language communities

#4Wow. So thoughtful.
Ruby: late to the party, brought a keg.

Matz said he designed Ruby to optimize for developer happiness, it’s just a core principle of the language since it was created

#6Oh just beautiful. Ruby is so expressive and concise.
If you see the typescript options it's like giving yourself a water boarding session through your own volition.

langchain and llamaindex are such garbage libraries: not only they never document half of the features they have, but they keep breaking their APIs from one version to the next.

I think it's the very nice-looking and clean high-level API that should be a pleasure to use (when it fits the job, of course).
I'm pretty sure this API semantics (instance builder to configure, and then it's ask/paint/embed with language-native way to handle streaming and declarative tools) would look beautiful and easy to use in many other languages, e.g. I can imagine a similar API - save, of course, for the Rails stuff - in Python, C# or Erlang. While this level of API may be not perfectly sufficient for all possible LLM use cases, it should certainly speed up development time when this level of API is all that's possible needed.

#10Saw this gem of a gem on reddit earlier today and there were some trollish comments about no one using ruby anymore blah blah blah which quietly bummed me out. Surprised and Delighted to see it as #1 here on HN tonight!
