@Lucas UCS: I’m actually learning Ruby on Rails (and ruby language of course). So. is it still worth to learn it (and to become ror developer) and is it true that learning Ruby on Rails, will learn you all the rest too (atleast partially) ? Everybody is talking about JavaScript etc. but ror will learn you front end and backend stuff while JavaScript is only front (nodejs for backend) ;-). Is the book of Michael hartl still a good ror book ?? Thanks.

@@soufianta8374 I hope you are a ruby master now! Learn ruby and ruby on rails. If you learn Ruby on Rails and Sinatra, you can build pretty much any Model - View - Controller system on any other language/framework: Laravel (PHP) is basically a copy-paste of Rails; Express (NodeJS) is mostly Sinatra on JavaScript, it's easy to understand Python's Django from Rails, even Angular (JS Frontend) has the same MVC fundamentals you will find in RoR, so yes, keep learning and never look back.

A very accurate and succinct summary of the language in my opinion. I've always thought that Ruby, and the reason I treasure it so much, is best as a tutorial/beginners language and framework. As web app development can be horribly intimidating, it has great value in helping new programmers in building RESTful applications, and that is invaluable from that perspective. Really nailed it with Convention over Configuration.

Why Google have Kotin and Flutter/Dart simultaneously? Is there a reason to learn Flutter/Dart in 2020?

[@tombert512]

Kotlin is developed by JetBrains (not Google), and Google is a giant entity with literally thousands of employees. As a result of this, different teams will choose different languages for different reasons. For example, Apache Spark is a really nice data processing framework, but in order to use it, you need to use a JVM language like Java, Scala, or Clojure. If you're a Java shop and want to use Spark, then of course you're fine, but if you're a Node.js shop, and need to do some elaborate data processing, it makes some sense to hire a few Java or Scala developers to work on it. Multiply this by a hundred or so for different cases, and you get something like Google, where they do C, C++, Go, Java, Scala, Kotlin, and Node.js, etc. I actually have always hated the "We're a shop". A programming language, at the end of the day, is a tool. Just like you would probably use a hammer to cut down a tree, you will find that certain languages are better tuned for different tasks, e.g. C/C++ is good for low-level operating system programming and stuff where microsecond performance matters, Go is good for semi-low-level server development where performance matters, but not quite as much, and something like PHP or JavaScript is good for doing higher-level web stuff. Dart is an ok language, but the important part is learning *a* language, whatever it is. Learning your second language is much easier than learning your first, and it's never really a waste of time to learn a language. My years of doing node.js have helped me with my years of Haskell, which has helped me with my years of F#, which has helped me with my years of Java, etc. TL;DR; if you think Dart looks fun, try it! Download the compiler, make a simple web app, and move on from there.

Note: I like the Ruby object model but you have to take the time to learn it and the resources are lacking. 2. All the major Ruby app's (that were developed to help Ruby programmers write Ruby app's) have terrible compatibility issues with each other... i.e. The bundler scripts use the wrong version of rake so you have to edit the scripts that bundle produces and that just the most obvious example.. I find most of my Ruby time is spent tracking down compatibility issues and not writing Ruby code. This shit should be done by the software maintainers but somehow it always eludes them.

Ruby and PHP are basically done. No one in their right mind who knows what they doing would build a platform on those technologies. There are three important tiers of development. Those are: infrastructure, apis, and front-end/ux. Everyone wants the infrastructure layer to be completely automated using cloud services. Automating cloud infrastructure is one job. Now the other side - the actual application. No actual end client cares about the scaling capabilities (until they do). Now you deal with the end client. The people who are responsible for building the end application. It is really important to understand there are two parts to building modern applications. One part is creating APIs the other is building the front-end. Anyone who wants to find themselves in a position to stand out among the rest understands this. No longer do enterprise level companies want people building solutions like those proposed with the legacy php frameworks. They want individuals who want more than that. They want the engineers who are able to build a rest api and present that info using the latest and greatest front-end framework. I do have a difficult time recommending learning a front-end framework before javascript.

Ruby jobs pay more. It’s an elegant language. I liked it because I could understand it better because of its Smalltalk heritage. Ruby is slow, but so is everyone else. You want speed than you want Rust in 2021. That’s not even an argument anymore. You want speed of development. And fads are stupid. Java won, Smalltalk lost. C++ is ”winning” but creating one billion dangerous bugs.

[@codeaperture]

I choose Go

[@j.c.h.9891]

Most people barely knows C++, that explains the bugs 😂
