I totally agree. Whenever I’ve criticised Ruby, e.g. for it’s insane level of hard to follow “magic”, people just say “that’s just Ruby on Rails… not all Ruby is like that”. I have no idea why it’s popular or why we should listen to anyone that thinks Ruby is amazing and Rust is terrible. It shows an astounding level of poor taste.
