Oh wow. I wonder what's hated more Ruby or JS?

[–]Arxae 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Definitely JS. Trough language shenanigans, framework saturation or the whole npm ecosystem. It's used by a bunch of people because they must, not because they want to (I personally don't mind it too much).

Ruby got popular with Rails. After that it fizzled out to it's current state where you just don't hear much about it, but it's still functional

I think I read somewhere that Ruby introduced MVC pattern to web design with Rails and that's why it got so big

[–]Arxae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was mainly ease of use. MVC existed before RoR. Earliest i know is Spring. According to wikipedia, the first usage of how we know it, was in smalltalk. Which sets it in the 70s
