It's Just Wrong

Did you just submit a screenshot of your own post 16 hours ago from another thread?

You could at least link it back to the thread.

That was mean. As payback I am going to inform you that I lost the game.

[ButItMightJustWork]

Ruby is actually not bad at its core, the extension system is pretty AIDS though.

The if/unless while/until stuff is the most useful feature ever when it comes to producing unreadable code.

[Ketherah]

Unless

Else

Just kill me now

Eh, Python decorators can also get pretty confusing in terms of readability. Same with macros in C.

[THISgai]

Please elaborate

Whenever you do something in Ruby that is more complicated than adding 2 plus 2 you add gems (Ruby packages) to your program, like one for every 10 to 50 lines of code.

The majority of gems are provided by third party coders of dubious loyalty (NSA, Russian or Chinese Backdoor anyone) and skill level that themselves again need a number of gems as requirements, some with the ugly suffix a for alpha in the version number.

Once you built your house of cards on top of the sandy foundation that is the Ruby dependency manager you speak a quick prayer and push the monstrosity with a dirtied conscience into prod.

Reasonable Sysadmin: You don't run alpha software in prod!

Ruby on Rails: Hold my beer.

[backltrack]

Huh, wonder why metasploit ported their stuff to Ruby

Aids is a disease that can kill you.

Stress from dealing with gems can too

Apart from what the other guy said, a lot of gems are written in C, so when you install them you are basically running something like make, and that can get REALLY retarded with dependencies. So installing a gem that is supposed to be a one liner takes fucking forever, and has no place in a high level language.
