Is Ruby any good?

People criticize it because it's not especially fast and "Python has more libraries!", but it's insanely fun to write in and very very easy to learn.
It has a lot of application in system deployment and management, and Rails is pretty decent, but don't expect to be building big applications with it.

It's a meme

Now there are good memes mind you, but that doesn't mean that they aren't memes

Whether ruby is a good meme or not is debatable

Alright, thanks. I think I'll stick with C++ then.

It's a fun language. If you want to get into webdev, rails is probably one of the easiest way to get started.

>>60766341
its good if you like codes of conduct

no point of a program that can not be distributed to fellow windows friends.

The only point of using crystal right now is writing cli software (no decent gui/web tools), and the lack of windows support is fatal.

if programming languages had a personality it would be an SJW hipster.
