Ruby! It's a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.
Same here. My company uses ruby (on rails) and golang and ruby is by far the language that gives me the most joy. One of our projects has reached a size where I really wish ruby had a built-in type system but other than that it is a really great language and by all means it is fast enough for most use cases.
Reminds me of
hilarious write-up
It’s the language I’m most capable of making a living with. It’s familiar to the point of being boring, I know what popular tools to avoid, I know my way around making Rails get the hell out of the way, turning it into a useful and handy tool.
I do want a chance at something that’s more exciting though. Some of the features I spy in other languages would be so nice to have.
Although I’d recently finally had to solve a problem where Ruby being slow was the major factor. Haven’t had that much fun in years. Benchmarks and second degree lap burns will do that to a person.
