Comparing to Python, where virtualenv is de facto default, and pyls works by default, the experience with Ruby is not that great.
New website looks like a website for a startup project that will be closed in 2 years.

> I am sure that they will come back and optimize, but tbh this is not the priority with a new site where the hits will top out at ~ 10k / hour. You don't need to "come back and optimize" if you don't start with needing a progress indicator for a "transform: scale" animation to display a single static download link. The number of hits is not relevant. Neither do you need to do three separate fetch requests for static…
I think you might have an issue with modern frontend practices. That's okay, but there's a disproportionate amount of hate towards Ruby's redesigned page. And it looks perfectly fine. HTPP/2 parallel requests aren't that big a deal, all things considered. The website looks cool to me, makes me want to try Ruby.

So everyone born in USA is a native American, right?
Yes, they are native to the USA. They aren't native american of course. That's a silly dishonest argument based on wordplay.

So what do you expect? People ignoring the frankly idiotic choices made that you now defend with "they will come back and optimize it"?

I literally see a progress counter that is for some reason required to display the most trivial animation to show ... a single static link. On a gigabit connection. All that takes up to two seconds.
On that same connection the same thing happen to three purely three static examples of code that somehow need up to two seconds to appear and to shift the entire content of the page.
Both are especially jarring on mobile.
I really wanted to like Ruby, but the ecosystem is just... broken. Comparing to Python, where virtualenv is de facto default, and pyls works by default, the experience with Ruby is not that great. New website looks like a website for a startup project that will be closed in 2 years.
The Lighthouse report is telling. It scores 100% for Best practices and SEO, but 54% for Performance. Pages like these used to be caricatures of the modern web, but are now acceptable. DHH's statement doesn't help either.
I dreaded the thought of scrolling down because I knew I’m gonna stumble upon his face.

Quickly followed by folks talking about a warm and welcoming community. Which in fairness, is true! DHH is the counterexample. Platforming him in 2025 seems nonsensical.
Why is platforming him in 2025 nonsensical?
wow that loads slow I like the design and content. Being able to immediately try a language online is huge But there has to be a way to load that content in a progressive manner. Loading a static version first and then hydrating the content if you need interactive actions
It's as fast as HN for me.
