I've worked with Ruby long enough now to say that "Ruby" and "reasonable" never go in the same sentence.

Skill issue. Ruby allows you to shoot yourself in the foot if you are not skilled. You can build really amazing things if you are.

You can build really amazing things if you are.

You know that other languages can do this too? Just without the foot guns.

And yeah, sure a skill issue. Because i'm not wasting energy, properly learning something as retarded as Ruby, where the creators took inspiration from all the mainstream languages and said to themselves: "we ain't gonna do anything of that".

Not sure if what other language is so good with DSLs also I am used to Ruby and it's just the most aesthetic language. Good thing there are many languages and many paradigms.
