I love Ruby and have built my career on it, but is it the right language to be starting new projects with given agentic coding? My take is "no." Rust or TS are probably better choices right now.
BirAdam•22m ago
Why go halfway with Rust when you could just pick Ada SPARK? Seems like an arbitrary choice based off of rationalizing a trend.
firesteelrain•10m ago
Because you pick Ada Spark if are in a certification heavy environment like Aerospace.

I understand why rust, but why TS? just for a front end?
blacksmith_tb•10m ago
That seems like it would depend quite a bit on the project? I would think many nonprofits would want a webapp of some flavor, and Ruby (or Python) are still not bad choices there - my experience with Claude is that it handles Ruby well.
