Ask HN: Why Does Ruby Get So Much Hate on HN?

4•karakoram•1mo ago

Comments

delichon•1mo ago

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.

curious_curios•1mo ago

“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”

- Bjarne Stroustrup

__patchbit__•1mo ago

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

rijoja•1mo ago

I don't think it receives very much hate.

Alifatisk•1mo ago

Me neither, I do not know where OP gets this impression. I've mostly seen love towards the language and it's web framework (Rails). But either way, why care? My best advice is to disconnect feelings with the tools. It's just a tool, nothing personal.

Borg3•1mo ago

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 :)

wmf•1mo ago

Ruby used to be extremely slow and memory-hogging.

Lio•1mo ago

It was never really any worse than python.

I wonder if the new generation of Ruby runtimes like ZJIT, TruffleRuby and JRuby if we get roughly the same speed as JavaScript if that will change what people complain about.

They'll still complain, obviously, because every language seems to have haters. :D
