I am a developer who enjoys crafting great web applications. I can work through full SDLC on my own, however I am not very keen on toy languages. I value great methodologies, Continuous Learning in particular. In my opinion Ruby is like comfort food - Yes it's tasty, but slow, and if I want comfortable intuitive language then I choose Ruby. Ruby is written in C. There is language that is similar to Ruby and it is written in Ruby, but has performance characteristics of Clang. Crystal and WASM is the future of programming.
