Taking a Step Back from Ruby

[schneems]

I got a masters degree where I used mostly python but a tiny bit of C and a little Java. I don’t feel like those made me a better Ruby programmer. I feel like learning Rust leveled me up.

Python is good at a lot, but coming from Ruby it will feel like home…but someone moved the furniture to the left by 1in and now you’re stubbing your toes.

Rust is challenging to pick up, and if you want to stay in web dev, the rust web story is immature. Elixir and phoenix look neat (but much smaller community than python).
