The number of times Matz is mentioned and depicted on the homepage is offputting. MINASWAN feels too close to WWJD for me. I can't think of another programming language community that does this, and I'm including Wolfram in that assessment.
Seems like a more grounded and healthier approach to programming languages.

Had the same exact thought. That DHH was included and Sandy was not really surprised me.

That’s not really a thing anymore.
Just because you don’t agree with his views doesn’t make it “not a good look”.
In fact, the ability to think outside of his cultural bubble and go against the grain is something that makes him great.
Bad branding community wise to quote DHH on the frontpage. Will immediately turn away many. He isn’t worth wasting the reputational loss that comes with printing his words.
I'm outta the loop; what did DHH do or say to invite the wrath of the Kraken?
For some reason there’s a large swath of people who really don’t like people saying that.

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?
So, in order to show a single download link it needs to load an animation with visible loading progress even on a gigabit connection. It takes a few seconds to appear. All to show a scaling animation that can be achieved with a couple of lines of CSS. Same for absolutely static code examples that take a few seconds to load and shift the content away. Why?
> couple of lines of CSS This is bit too much to ask. Just check the source it is swollen with Tailwind.

He acknowledges that mass importing Muslims into the UK is killing the country. For some reason there’s a large swath of people who really don’t like people saying that.

> not optimized images by size and deferring, JS for things that work natively in the browser, bloat of tailwind instead of nice clean and modern CSS. care to elaborate?
Sure: - images: none are visible above the fold - all should be lazy loaded (like it is done with all conference images) and the pragdave.jpeg one does not need to be that large; - JS: navigation toggle, including chevron rotation can be done in CSS using :has combined with checkbox/radio input. Similarly for header-navigation and theme-toggle (here combined with cookie store). Then toc.js - seems like something easy…
Instead, for a brochure site like this, I'd rather have the links just always visible, because this is the reference site for Ruby and I imagine a lot of people find them by searching "Ruby", coving l clicking the homepage, and scanning for the link to the docs/downloads/etc.
Alternatively, if the show/hide feature is really that important, right now I would (a) explore whether it can be done accessibly using the new invoker API, so you don't need JavaScript at all (with a JS fallback), or (b) just do it in JavaScript directly, but with an accessible default if the JS doesn't get loaded properly.
But yeah, the rest I largely agree with. There's a bunch of stuff here that would have been simpler, and arguably also easier, if they'd taken a slightly different approach.
I thought it would be interesting to try the showcase examples in Raku (since I am always saying how good Raku's imitation of Ruby is)... - https://glot.io/snippets/he42jpfm27 - https://glot.io/snippets/he42trx6w6 - https://glot.io/snippets/he434b6ryj Obviously Raku leans more to `{}` and `my $var` than Ruby - but otherwise I think it does a credible job. Obviously these are carefully chosen Ruby snippets to highlit…
Man. Haven’t thought about Raku for a while. Does it have a good web framework these days?
my Cro $service; # geddit?
Also, if you want a more opinionated, HTMX centric web application library, then https://harcstack.org was used to make the new https://raku.org site
