I'm gonna be the weirdo recommending Ruby. I really like it as a language, and it's pretty fun to write. Plus it's got a lot of libraries so you can do fun projects like Discord chat bots.
I have this one weird friend who does competitive one-line-programming in Ruby. It's supposedly the best one-liner language.
I can believe it. The way Ruby implements "everything is an object" gives it amazing flexibility. Though the one-liners for Ruby aren't as intricate and beautiful as Perl one-liners.
I been meaning to learn Ruby to get around using Python. I like Ruby syntax better.
I absolutely hate ruby. I would almost rather write php. Ruby just feels like every decision they made is wrong, and designed to add confusion.
I feel like you and I wouldn’t get along
Maybe. I just do not understand the love for ruby. Literally all the ruby code I've ever seen is just awful. Which isn't necessarily a dig at the language, but it just seems like it makes it so easy to write terrible code.
Also, what's the deal with
unless? "Do this unless ..." is so unintuitive it's almost like it was designed that way as a joke.
