Why Ruby Still Feels Like Home After All These Years | Caio Bianchi

I have been writing Ruby for more than fifteen years now. Started back when Rails 3 and 3.1 were current and everyone was still figuring out how to deploy with capistrano. Back then I chose it mostly because it felt pleasant to type. All these years later, after switching between languages for work and side projects, I keep coming back. Ruby is not the fastest or the trendiest, but it still feels like the one I reach for when I actually want to enjoy the work. There are pieces of the language that rarely get mentioned in the usual pitch, yet they quietly remove friction every single day.
