As a Rubyist I've been impressed with how much love Ruby gets here, and how much head space it consumes compared to far more popular languages.

Ask AI about C++ and CUDA C++ and expectations of success in projects like F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

I don't think it receives very much hate.

I am more curious why you actually care? Are you doing Ruby coding for living? This seems the only valid reason.

I love Ruby, I write a lot of tools in it. When I need extras, I extend Ruby using C. Its easy to do and very clean. I even write simple GUI stuff in Ruby, because why not?

And I dont really care if Ruby is loved or not. Its Open Source. I made backup of all stuff I care about. Its easy to just rebuild if necessary :)
