because it's already disappearing.

rails is junky hacks, and too many "cloud" type services like Google Engine are replacing running your own shitty server.

webassembly and whatever javascript abstraction of the day are the future of any web programming, especially webassembly. Push a binary and it's a client side server using a remote API which can run on anything Rails isn't needed.

There are other uses for Ruby than Rails. Not all of us are web developers.

Slow, but attractive language.

>>60413415

Use it regularly at work for system scripts and with Puppet. Also django fucking sucks so if I need something more than flask or Sinatra, say for a full blown crud app, I use Rails and like it a lot.

>>60411218
Because I do IT security and I don't see the need to know a programming language

>>60413750

>doesn't know programming

I dont think we hire hardly any security staff without programming knowledge where I work. We use a lot of open source and in house tools and programming is required for all of this unless you're just some kind of malware babysitter.

Anyway my point is you should learn, combing security skills with programming knowledge could lead you to a $200k job where I work.

'Cause PHP.

it's alright
>>60411234

I already know Ruby but I don't see any good use for it. Python and Perl are better everywhere.

>>60411218
None of the projects I'm working on require it, the library ecosystem for anything except web stuff is underwhelming, and it's not interesting enough to learn just for its own sake.

Ruby is great. It's comfy to write, you can do lots of nice things involving metaprogramming in a non-retarded way (i.e. not by calling eval), it's got a nice syntax for lambdas which makes them very natural, it lets you write programs creatively, it has a very high level of introspection. I could go on. I think it's one of the few languages that really make use of how they have a dynamic runtime, along with the Lisps (and Smalltalk, which is supposedly even better).
The Python shitlords really have no idea what they're missing. Do yourself a favour and go read Metaprogramming Ruby.

>What does Ruby so right that Python does wrong?
Ruby was designed from the ground up to be a consistent language using smalltalk style object system. Python started out as a tiny language that just got features added to it that were suggested by users to Guido. You can learn all of Ruby by reading pic related and become an expert because all the parts of the language fit together in the same object model. You will always know what is in scope, what parts of the language can communicate, know what parts of your code are hidden from each other. Even the module system inherits from the universal object and is an object. In Python you always are searching for the 'pythonic' way of doing something because there is no unified design that you can count on.

Let me repeat, pic related is the best book to learn Ruby, it will give you a very deep understanding of how all parts of Ruby work and fit together. Its the ONLY book you need to understand ALL of Ruby. There are not many languages where you can start out from the get go as an expert.

>>60412590
>Slow, but attractive language.
I cant believe people keep repeating this meme. Ruby started out as a language designed and implemented entirely by one person (Matz) using yacc. Since then there is a design team dedicated to working on the Ruby compiler and Ruby is now a faster language than Python.

Nice pick, awesome book and is true, is prolly the only Ruby book he needs.

Now if he wants to reinforce it, he can read the pic related book.

>>60416305
Ruby's speed is average for a dynamic language, and it's certainly going to look very slow to somebody who writes C++. I think it makes up for it with its slowness with everything you mentioned though.
I really think Python ought to be a compiled language, it makes very little use of its dynamic features, and the fact that it's slo slow just shows how incompetent Guido is as a language designer and implementor.

>>60416305
>Ruby is now a faster language than Python.
Ruby is now a faster language than CPython for SOME applications.

Is crystal gud? Does it have future?

>>60416305
Something weird about this post. It praises Ruby for having "the same object model" in all parts of it - that everything, even the module system inherets from and is a subclass of a universal object. It lords this design philosophy over python. Except in python, everything is also a subclass of a base object class too...

>>60416938
>Except in python, everything is also a subclass of a base object class too...
yeah, I dont think so. why dont you tell me what object all the underscorre functions inherit from or why you have to pass an explicit self parameter to object methods so you can use local scope, Im not really seeing the unified object at work there

*cough* I'm a man, not a kid OP

>>60417086
>>why dont you tell me what object all the underscorre functions inherit from
They inheret from "object", like everything else. You can try calling isinstance(instanceName, object) on the underscore methods in a class instance if you don't believe me.

>>60417487
ok, I'm actually learning something here since Ive never learned Python (nor wanted to). But bundling all underscore methods on the universal object seems like way too much functionality on something that is supposed to be generic and only provide the most basic functionality for an object to exist.

>>60417761
You're mixing up a couple different questions here.

>1: What is the type / supertype of underscore methods?
All methods, including those whose names happen to include some underscores, are instances of either the `function` type or the `boundmethod`. Both are subclasses of object.

>2: From what class are the underscore methods inherited?
They're inherited in the usual way. The `object` type, from which all other types inherit, defines only the most essential ones, such as `__instancecheck__` (which backs `isinstance`) and `__hash__`.

>>60417305
Fucking hell mate, do yourself a favour and learn Ruby. You lot are the COBOL programmers of the 2000s.

I learnt Ruby for my job, OP. We were a rails shop, but now I'm going travelling and writing web shit in Sinatra in the meantime. It's absolutely the most beautiful language I've written. Makes Python look like a big pile of shit.

i only know BASIC

I strongly recommend using an auto-indent plugin in whatever editor you use with Ruby. I use "Beautify Ruby" in Sublime. You have to have the rubocop gem installed for it to work. You can configure it to run automatically every time you save the file. And remember to set your editor to 2 space indent and have tabs to spaces on.

>>60418585
So you're used to typing "end". That'll come in handy

>>60411218
its fucking slow as balls and has less support than python and eats ass to write because it's so far up its own ass about objects.

>A nothingpost.
It's a if-you-have-to-ask-then-you-can't-judge thing.
However, as handy example take variable scoping: Ruby has overall sane block scoping. The exception are for-loops but the flaw is that for-loops exist in the first place, as existing alternatives are better anyway. That's a non-issue, since no Ruby programmer uses for-loops.
Python on the other hand has retarded pre-ES6-JS-like variable scoping where only functions and classes instead of every block.
Not only does that suck in a number of cases, it also reveals the design process:
>everything is global in my toy language, bitches
>wait, you need scope in functions or those toy recursions that can't have TCO will suck
>wait you need scope in classes to hold state

>It's a buggy hobbyist mess next to the much younger Crystal.
Nim is what I was referring to when I said, Python has the worse statically typed counterpart. And you are right, of course, Crystal is the better language.

>Ruby is now a faster language than CPython for SOME applications.
The hard truth is that unlike Python, Ruby actually has other implementations that matter. JIT compilers among them that beat PyPy where it matters. And it will only get better with JRuby9000.

>>60416837

however, it appears they currently don't have the manpower to implement the standard library for windows.

>Premature
What makes you think it's premature? Lots of the gems people use are C under the hood - rails itself comes with a bunch of them.

And think about it this way: if 95% of the work that the devs somewhere have done is in Ruby on Rails, and it runs at an acceptable speed for those things, and all the devs who work at the company are comfortable with rails, all the future development that's been planned at the company is rails, and the only things people would really know how to hire for is rails, then is fixing that last 5% of stuff with C really premature? Or would you recommend forcing all the developers at the company to switch to a language that at least some of them won't know, rewrite all of the company's code in that language and just put all new development on hold, with no guarantee that the new language won't have a different set of weird parts that are painful to program or are slow?

It is not really interesting to learn since Scala took over every niche Ruby had.

From web application frameworks over message queues to cloud frameworks, all the good stuff is now Scala. Not Ruby.

>>60411234
Worse than that. Its being pushed by universities because of its bullship object oriented software engineering political correctness. If you love white people use python

C and C++ suffice and are better for their use cases

>>60416065
Me too man, I'm thinking about learning Haskell, seems funny

>>60427705
>a compiled language is better than a scripting language for use cases where you would use a scripting language

All of you language monotheisists can't into the fact that different tools are used for different needs.

Scala always had this feel about not being about finishing stuff and quality compilers, but here http://soc.github.io/six-years-of-scala-development/departure.html is a blog post form some scala member that confirms it.
BTW: There was something similar for Clojure, which makes it a meme lang as well.

And without arrays, you have to use their shitty slices. Not to mention all that verbose boilerplate.

Literally why? Just makes things more verbose

>>60431188
>literally why
Sounds like you didn't finish the tour. It's all explained in simple English.

>>60431318
Well, their reason is that is "safer" which of course is a design decision to prevent invalid memory access (patronize your devs Google) and supposedly faster.

>>60431188
There are many things you can do easily with slices that you can't do with static arrays. Test yourself my smallson.

Fair enough, where's that nerd who keeps pointing out how Go devs aimed the language at fresh graduates who might be scared of anything too hard to use? Said nerd had a few sources on that which were interesting.

I still quite like Go though. Maybe I'm gay.

>>60431471
Well, when you're Rob Pike and make statements like that in the first page's of the Go book , it doesn't set it for a good start.

Liking of disliking Go, meh, personal choices, but I honestly think that some design choices makes it horrible verbose to use. Simple things that I liked (such as the Type system) went horribly verbose when I tried to make a dynamic array to use them.

I really think everyone should program in Ruby for a few weeks. It's just so beautiful and comfy. A really magical language that somehow has the best parts of a dozen other languages.

Like Matz said: it's made for programmer happiness..

>>60432322
Honest question, no shitposting wanted:

I've seen Ruby code and it looks pretty undistinguishable from Python. Also have read horror stories about RoR performance.
How's Ruby objectively better than Python?

>people who pronounce it 'raby'

took only that for me to stay clear of it

>>60432938

I like Python's way of treating functions as first class citizens and so on. But I prefer coding in Ruby, because Ruby is simpler and more complex than Python - at the same time.

You can write Ruby similar to Python - or not.

That's the beauty..

f = ['', '', 'fizz'].cycle
b = ['', '', '', '', 'buzz'].cycle

puts (1..100).zip(f,b).map{|i| (i[1]+i[2])[/.+/] || i[0]}

f = (3..100).step(3).to_a
b = (5..100).step(5).to_a

1.upto(100) do |i|
  a = "#{'fizz' if f.include? i}#{'buzz' if b.include? i}"
  puts a.empty? ? i : a
end

(1..100).each do |i|
  puts \
    i%15==0 ? "fizzbuzz" :
    i%3==0 ? "fizz" :
    i%5==0 ? "buzz" :
    i
end

>>60433980
>

puts (1..100).zip(f,b).map{|i| (i[1]+i[2])[/.+/] || i[0]}

>

  a = "#{'fizz' if f.include? i}#{'buzz' if b.include? i}"

Although I understand the code, these seem a bit unreadable as in too many calls in a single line. Seems like using pipes.
But the more power to you, I guess

>>60433980

Some points of interest here:


In the first version we created iterators, not only arrays!
So the "zip" method zips our range iterator with the two other iterators and creates tuples (like: [3, "fizz", '""]).

Then we concat the "fizz" and "buzz" strings from the tuples and check if it's empty:
yes, we can simply throw a regex at a string like this:

"string 123 and so on"[/\d/]

So when we the regex doesn't find anything, it returns "nil" and the or condition evaluates it to the number.


In the second version we really create huge arrays with a few commands.

Then we make a string with inline evaluation and then it's like in the first version.


The third version is just a simple tenary operator version.

>>60434047

Yes, I was trying to create a version that doesn't look like python. Not really beautiful..


But yes, "using pipes" is pretty close to it.

>>60433980
this, all the methods built into arrays alone are worth it, stuff like array.sample

I wish ruby had the role and support in sciences that python has.

>>60411218

>but python also has that

well not really, ruby doesn't have that 2vs3 debate, utf-8 by default, everything is just method and message passing under the hook.

meanwhile python still can't decide the best way to do string formatting so they keep delivering a new one each release.

>>60430306
Python and Ruby are almost the same fucking language. One is good for everything except application development while the other is awful and should only be used for web apps.

>>60432938
People like "coding" in Ruby. Just don't ask them to maintain it because they will find any excuse not to.

Does it still not work/install as well on windows still? Should I learn it on linux? Never programmed before

The only reason to use ruby is for rails. Rails is a bitch to set up on everything except macs for some reason. That's what I use.

This actually made me kek

I know python well enough to know where its weak points are, so one more question would be. Does Ruby suffers from the same GIL problem as Python?

>>60437589

take a look at Crystal, its a Ruby implementation designed for concurrency

ruby still has GIL, they plan to have Guild in 3.0 though.

How do I into programming languages?

I was autistic enough to learn Japanese without even liking anime or manga. So I like to think I'm at least determined enough to get into programming.

I just simply don't have anywhere to start while learning Japanese was just getting some textbooks from daily japanese thread and slowly farming myself to fluency.

While programming is divided as fuck.

I'd like to use my programming skills to focus on machine learning/AI/Big Data probably something like tensorflow+python but I have absolutely no idea where to start. PLS help /g/

>>60437589
Of course.
If you want OS level thread, interpreted languages or even dynamic enough languages aren't what you'd want.

>>60438213
Start off learning Python, and build from there. It'll get you in the door at a pretty good variety of places.

>>60438394
Is there some sort of /g/ official guide into Python or something together with steps for planning how to learn shit? Getting to start at the right place is usually the hardest part of picking up a new skill.

>>60438213
try solve trivial problems like eulerproject.
