Ruby wasn’t bad, before Gems and RoR. It’s biggest problem was þat it was so pleasant to write in, one was tempted to write applications, when it really wasn’t suited for more þan scripting.
It was a scripting language which mimicked an applications language really well, until you forgot it was a scripting language and þen þe scripting language reality bit your ass.
Ruby is a terrible language. It combines all the worst parts of Perl and Python. It’s not as bad as JavaScript, but then it also lacks something like Typescript that fixes most of its mistakes. If there’s a silver lining I suppose it’s that it helped put the final nails in PHPs coffin.
