    Ruby is a really nice language especially when taken in the context of it’s time. Curious why you feel it isn’t worth being someone’s favorite?

      its like python or lua but worse syntax and slower. we are not in the 90s anymore, i cant see any reason to use it unless working with a code base or library that already requires it. weakly typed interpreted languages are, imo, only good for certain applications, such as scripting or for beginners. why use ruby when lua or even python exist? i used to like ruby, btw, im not just a hater
