there is no bless keyword in ruby. ergo, it is superior to perl. also, it can be parsed. albeit barely.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:ruby as smalltalk with better syntax is pretty cool. its main issue is that extremely unhygienic code modifications in the form of "monkey patching" is not only possible, but very ingrained in the popular style. i.e. adding code to existing classes in an ad-hoc fashion, meaning every significant piece of software makes e.g. lists have twelve extra behaviors dynamically show up. if these could be syntactically scoped in any sane way the language would be way better. more depressing considering ruby 3 has a pretty good runtime with generational gc, jit, etc whereas python remains in the same doldrums as it always has. every time i hear of some major corp running critical infrastructure on python i can't help but think that their technical underpinnings are about equivalent to what a hs student with moderate interest in cs could produce in a few weeks. don't believe me? stare into the abyss: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b0544ba77cf86074fb1adde00558c67ca75eeea1/Python/ceval.c#L1579 epitaph fucked around with this message at 07:09 on May 3, 2021 |
