Devotion
First love never fades.
Ruby's clean syntax and fully object-oriented approach feel like a natural extension of how my brain processes information. It's not just a programming language; it's a reflection of my thought patterns, shaping how I approach problem-solving in all aspects of my work.
Ruby was my first (programming) love all the way back in 2009. I love the clean, readable syntax, the fully object-oriented approach, the dynamic typing ... it just works how my brain is wired! Or was my brain wired by Ruby? :)
Elegance
Crafted for joy and beauty.
Ruby's elegance goes beyond just syntax — its object model and metaprogramming capabilities provide a canvas for developers to express themselves creatively. The focus on developer happiness and the welcoming community make Ruby a language where writing code feels like a natural, expressive task. Its English-like simplicity adds a layer of familiarity that enhances the overall programming experience.
I love Ruby because of: - the object model - elegant syntax - the community - focus on developer happiness - English like - simplicity - metaprogramming
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.
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.
Idea Alchemy
Turning dreams into code reality.
With Ruby's simplicity and expressiveness, crafting intricate systems becomes a seamless and gratifying journey. It's like translating imagination directly into functional, elegant code.
Ruby lets me turn ideas into real products quickly. Its simplicity and expressiveness make building complex systems feel natural and enjoyable.
Clarity
Empowering clean, integrated development experiences.
Ruby's clarity not only enhances code readability but also streamlines development workflows. By combining Ruby with Rails and Hotwire, developers can achieve a seamless, fast, and cohesive end-to-end development experience. This integration of backend simplicity and frontend speed underscores the power of Ruby in creating elegant and user-friendly applications.
I love Ruby for its elegance and clarity. Rails makes backend simple, and with Hotwire the frontend feels fast, clean, and fully integrated.
Creative
Empowering complex ideas with simplicity.
Ruby's creativity shines through its friendliness and community support, enabling developers like João to craft beautiful solutions. By transforming abstract concepts into elegant code, Ruby empowers users to express complex ideas effortlessly.
Beautiful, imaginative, friendly, and community-oriented. Ruby is the perfect tool for expressing complex ideas and transforming abstract business values into powerful and simple code.
Joyful Empathy
Coding with heart.
Ruby's essence goes beyond code, fostering a culture of compassion and understanding. It's a language where empathy shines through, creating a harmonious environment for developers to thrive.
I love Ruby because it is one of the few languages that embodies happiness, kindness and empathy, at least that's how I have experienced it through my career.
Joyful Coding
Happy coding, happy coder.
Ruby's minimal syntax overhead allows for code clarity that stands the test of time, ensuring a joyful experience even when revisiting old projects. The happiness experienced while coding with Ruby translates into readable and meaningful code for future reference.
It makes me happy when I use it :) Minimal syntax overhead means I can get my ideas down in code that reads well and makes sense when revisiting it months or years later.
Type Freedom
Enjoyable coding without type constraints.
In Ruby, the freedom from type constraints allows for a more enjoyable coding experience, focusing on logic rather than strict data types. Its readability and strong community support create a vibrant ecosystem for collaboration and growth.
I love Ruby! It's the most enjoyable programming language for me. The best part is that you don't have to worry about types! Plus, it's easy to read and has a great community.
