Ruby 3.2.0 is from another dimension
Ruby is my favorite language, and often it is a joy to use because of its combined attributes of brevity, expressive power, and feature consistency.<p>It&#x27;s disappointing that there are so many more jobs for another popular language - one that lacks the elegance and consistency but which has a larger ecosystem.<p>As far as I know, the only well known reason for a company to choose Ruby is if they want Rails (and obviously if the founding team already knows&#x2F;likes Ruby).  But that other language also has a popular (and comparatively clumsy) web framework plus well known modules for all the fantasy capabilities that startups dream of... you know, the AI&#x2F;ML &quot;not sure how we will use it but we know it will be great, and it&#x27;s good for marketing&quot;.<p>Sadly, I don&#x27;t expect this situation to reverse in the future.  Maybe like blockchain, once the AI&#x2F;ML fantasy hype dies down the other comparatively-unpleasant language will lose general appeal and Ruby will gain more attention.<p>Edit - also, the domain squatters &quot;rubylang.org&quot; should lose their domain.  There is no legitimate excuse for having this domain which redirects to a general garbage site.
