I like ruby. Use it for a bunch of things at work.

Mastodon is written in Ruby. Nowhere near as big as Facebook or the ML field, but hey, it's important to a couple of us at least :)

The only place I've seen ruby used extensively is in environments with a lot of regular expressions and string manipulation. Still not entirely sure why I've only seen it used there. The regex tools in ruby are nice but they aren't nice enough to justify a language switch in my opinion...

It's the part of ruby that replaced perl. For whatever eldritch horror perl was it was very, very good at doing text manipulation, and IME the only language to really match that experience was ruby.

Yesterday I would have argued that with the rails framework Ruby is a great way to rapidly develop a scalable application. Today I started having an intermittent failure in one of my API instances and when searching about it the only thing I could find was one obscure blogpost that boiled down to “yeah sometimes Ruby Ave active record just screws up the character set off a string” exact same string, different results. Excuse me Ruby? How the fuck can you sometimes screw up a character set? There should be no sometimes to any thing here.

Haven't Spring Boot in Kotlin with jib and cloud integration caught upto this in terms of development speed?

I like Ruby most of the time, but honestly, I'm not surprised at "sometimes" behavior from the language created by someone who, when asked for the formal definition of something in the language, said he's "not really a formal kind of guy."
