Effortless Productivity
Conventions, gems, speed — a winning combo.
Ruby's conventions and vast collection of gems streamline development, saving time and effort. With Ruby on Rails, going from zero to a fully deployed product is a breeze, showcasing the language's efficiency and productivity.
Because every time I try something else I end up writing twice the code and missing Rails within a day. Τhe conventions make sense, the gems save you weeks and you can go from nothing to deployed product very fast.
Empowerment
Starting from scratch with ease.
Ruby's user-friendly syntax empowers beginners to kickstart their web development journey from ground zero. Its seamless integration with Test-Driven Development (TDD) not only streamlines the coding process but also fosters a test-first mindset, enhancing code quality and developer efficiency.
I love Ruby because it gave me the chance to start my web development career from zero. Plus, it works beautifully with TDD, something I enjoy.
Hidden Complexity
Simple surface, intricate depths.
Ruby's paradox lies in its ability to cloak complexity within an elegant, human-readable syntax, making intricate tasks feel deceptively simple. It's a language that speaks directly to programmers, offering a unique blend of expressiveness and accessibility that sets it apart from the rest.
I love ruby because it is paradoxical. It allows express complex things and then hide them behind simple DSL. There is no such language as ruby. It is language for human programmers)))
Impact
