been thinking about the programming language ruby
i would use it for more if it wasn't associated with so much webshit
not sure if this is a poor reason to structure one's programming language preferences, but much of my desire to adopt a language is based on how i like its syntax.
for me, whatever features or power a language has is secondary to the beauty of its syntax
makes me think--i wonder what good purpose ruby could be put towards?
@vidak one thing that made me rethink how I feel about Ruby is when a computer science professor mentioned that it is probably the purest OOP language out there, more so than stuff like Java, and I agree
this shows why I don't like it, because I don't like OOP, but it does make it very unique as a language for filling that niche
