That's my takeaway from Ruby - syntax matters, and good syntax makes programmers happier

I support software in many languages and ruby has to be the most syntactically stimulating.

You're confusing beautiful with simple. There's a lot of complexity and magic that's hidden behind the curtains of that "beautiful" syntax. Great for scripts and small programs, and an absolute nightmare on large projects. It's too simple.

As a general rule of thumb, don’t yuck someone else’s yum. Plenty of people like the trade offs Ruby makes. And plenty of absolutely huge businesses use it quite successfully (e.g., Shopify, GitHub, GitLab, Airbnb, Stripe).

If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

I'll yuck whatever yum I please. I'm not here for your approval. I did 10 years of Ruby. I have some authority on the matter.

lol :D
