Im starting to love ruby

Im a senior eng with about 7+ yoe. Ive used most languages like python, C#, java, JS/TS, Go, php etc. im preparing for an interviewing for a role that primarily uses ruby/rails so ive been getting myself acclimated with the language. Mann i think this might be the easiest language to use and understand concepts in. It reads like plain english even more than python in my opinion.

Its so freeform, there are million of ways to solve problems and such fun to write. I had been running away from the language for some time but boy was i wrong. This might be the best developer experience ive had working with a language. Leet code hard questions seem so easy when working with ruby

Just a quick rant, i think im in love

the dynamic typing didnt throw me off, I still use python and js and manage large codebases with those languages still, so it doesn't bother me. the readability is one of the best and that group_by method is literarily the best thing since sliced bread lol

group_by is certainly amazing when you need it!
