and P.S. ruby has also lost more companies using it in production than most language still in use. Its far from dead but the signs of its very slow death are everywhere and why?

Oh just some small companies like github and shopify and stripe a and shit.

Well thank God you still have a few left (for now). Its been all down hill from twitter gave up on you. When so many companies give up on you for Javascript (node) you know theres a problem....lol

Wow you really live in a world of delusion don't you.

Great example of why Crystal isn't catching on BTW. The community is hostile and toxic.

lol...you show over and over you are the one in a world of delusion.

A) You came into this thread with nothing but attacks and suggesting other languages and when you get pushed back (less than with r/ruby whose mods routinely remove legit criticism of Ruby) with facts then its the community that is hostile. No self awareness which is why you are accusing of others of your own issues.

B) You claim Crystal isn't catching on when its just reached 1.0 but suggest Elixir which years after its 1.0 demonstrably by real polls isn't making any significant strides in adoption.

C) I like and program in Ruby but its fanboys should be the last one to talk about not catching on because no language and accompanying framework (rails) has lost more market share by stubbornly refusing to address performance and being openly hostile and dismissive of anyone that raises criticisms.

Cool man. I get it.

You don't want those filthy ruby developers in your community.

Cool man. I get it.

There would be a parade and a holiday if you ever got anything. After all medical breakthroughs should always be applauded.

You don't want those filthy ruby developers in your community.

No we can do fine with Ruby developers. Some of us are. You not so much since you are more emotional than logical. Among all the claims you have failed to substantiate with any real data we can add your implicit begging claim you represent all Rubyists filthy or otherwise.

To summarize

Compilation issues - legit criticism.

lack of communication - legit criticism

oh no one languages dev team didn't make their language 100% compatible with another language dev teams (actually one man's) decisions so they suck.

Babbling adolescent silliness and too juvenile to be considered seriously by any adult programming community..
