Delight
Bringing joy to developers.
Ruby's ability to bring happiness to developers goes beyond just coding — it creates a positive and enjoyable environment for building software. The fact that Ruby on Rails, Pavlo's favorite framework, was built using Ruby, further solidifies its reputation for making development a delightful experience.
You already know the answer. Because it’s Ruby. It makes developers happy. And also it was used to built Ruby on Rails. My favorite framework 🥰
Rapid Development
Quick MVP turnaround.
Ruby's concise syntax and extensive libraries enable me to rapidly prototype and iterate, turning ideas into functional MVPs within days. Its flexibility and expressiveness make it a go-to choice for efficient development cycles.
I love Ruby because I can build my MVP in a few days.
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.
Flow
Building with ease and enjoyment.
Ruby's seamless flow allows developers to build meaningful projects effortlessly. It empowers speed without compromising on clarity or aesthetics, fostering a creative and responsible development environment where ideas can flourish freely.
I love Ruby because it makes building things that matter feel natural and enjoyable. It helps me move fast without sacrificing clarity or beauty, and it trusts me as a developer to shape ideas freely and responsibly.
Boilerplate Relief
Coding bliss without repetition.
Ruby's concise syntax saves me from drowning in repetitive boilerplate code. Writing Ruby and Rails feels like a breath of fresh air, allowing me to focus on the logic and creativity of my code without the unnecessary clutter.
I love ruby because I hate boiler plate code. Ruby lets me write code that makes me feel good about myself. It is a joy to write ruby and rails.
Ease
Intuitive and joyful coding experience.
The seamless syntax in Ruby not only enhances developer happiness but also minimizes boilerplate code, allowing for more focus on creativity in crafting robust and user-friendly systems. It transforms the coding process into an effortless and gratifying creative endeavor.
I love Ruby for its elegance and focus on developer happiness. The syntax is so intuitive it feels like an extension of thought, enabling me to build reliable and user-friendly systems without boilerplate friction. It turns coding from a chore into a truly creative craft
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.
Simple
Easy to write, easy to read.
Natural syntax like spoken language.
Ruby has a simple and intuitive syntax that reads like natural language. By eliminating complex symbols and verbose constructs, Ruby's design philosophy allows you to express what you want directly. With minimal boilerplate and high readability, it's friendly to beginners and maintainable for experienced developers.
Ruby is just the most beautiful programming language I have ever seen. And I pay a fair amount of attention to new programming languages that are coming up, new environments, new frameworks, and I've still yet to see anything that meets or beats Ruby in its pureness of its design.
User-Friendly
Versatile, productive, and joy-inducing.
Ruby's user-friendly nature goes beyond simplicity and intuitiveness. Its versatility allows for creative problem-solving, making it a productive choice for diverse projects. The good defaults in Ruby not only streamline development but also contribute to the overall joy of working with the language.
Ruby was my first love... It's a joy to work with. It's user-friendly, versatile and productive. Lots of good defaults that make it simple and intuitive.
Connection
Community bonds.
Ruby's familiarity fosters a sense of belonging, but it's the supportive community that truly enhances the experience. From shared knowledge in forums to building lasting friendships at conferences, the friendly atmosphere creates a unique bond among developers. It's not just about the code; it's about the connections made along the way.
Ruby feels like writing in a language I already know. But what keeps me here is the community. Since my first Rails project in 2010, helpful people in forums made learning easier. At conferences, I meet people and we talk like old friends, even if we met only once. The friendly community matters most.
