So much better. The website was looking like abandonware, which was not helpful in projecting ruby as an actual thriving ecosystem.

#72I wonder why Sandi Metz is missing in the testimonial section. One of the most influential persons in software analysis and design in the Rubyverse.
Had the same exact thought. That DHH was included and Sandy was not really surprised me.
I think dhh's quote just isn't very good -- of course someone who has so much identity invested in the ecosystem is going to say "I looked around and still nothing is better than ruby!" Well maybe not even of course, not even every "BDL" is as cringingly self-promotional as dhh, some have a bit of humility.
i agree it's not a great look.
Hopefully the website will keep getting regularly updated and tweaked (software, is a living organism!), instead of being frozen in amber for a decade like the last version!

#73DHH praising himself in the testimonials, funny.

#74wow 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.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Similarly for header-navigation and theme-toggle The theme toggle has three states. How do you model this with a checkbox?
Why does a site even need a light/dark toggle, when you can just use prefers-color-scheme in CSS, and the user can select that in their browser settings? (Also, technically, alternative stylesheets can be defined in HTML, except every browser except Firefox removed it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... )
Because as a user, I want to change the light/dark of your site, not every set, and not my OS. If you don't have a toggle, you are making assumptions that aren't accurate.

#78Lol, it does not load when JavaScript is disables. I wonder if Ruby still sticks to Free Software principles.

#79Ruby is GOATED. You can say what you want but Ruby coupled with Rails is the most productive web stack period. Why you might ask? - Omakase Stack - high level is good for business processes - modern concepts without JS ecosystem churn - great testing capabilities - great ecosystem - highly effective stack for LLMs (conventions) Is it fast in Benchmark Games - not by any means. Will you be able to finish projects and…

#80Putting DHH right next to Matz must be some kind of sick joke
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.
