Its DSL support opens up a world of possibilities, empowering developers to craft elegant and efficient solutions. Plus, the vibrant community adds a layer of warmth and support to the coding journey.
Ruby is the easiest language for me to write self-documenting code in which I find important for certain types of problems such as managing domain complexity. I also love its ability to support DSLs relatively easily. And so many friendly peeps in the community!
First
Initial love for a timeless language.
Starting with Ruby creates a special bond, like a first love that never fades. Its smoothness and elegance make every coding session a joy, ensuring a lasting relationship with this intuitive language.
Love Ruby as it is my first programming language. It's smooth, intuitive and elegant. Been using it since 2022 and don't want to stop using it.
Ecosystem
Rich gems support all kinds of development.
Mature tooling ready to use.
Ruby has a vast collection of libraries called gems, supporting everything from web development to data processing. With mature frameworks like Rails and comprehensive toolchains, you can combine excellent existing resources to build high-quality applications quickly without reinventing the wheel.
When I released Ruby to the world, I never imagined such a rich ecosystem would grow from it. Over 200,000 gems, Ruby on Rails, RSpec, Bundler—it was the community that created and nurtured all of these. My wish to "make programmers happy" has been realized in ways I could never have achieved alone.
