I had a coworker choose RoR for a major project despite the fact that he didn’t know it, nobody on his team knew it, nobody at our company knew it, and nobody in the entire state knew it. It ended as one would expect, after three years and millions of dollars spent, with the only revenue it generated being $50K from the original client that had to be refunded to avoid a lawsuit.
I haven’t used php before and I am not that far into it yet, so I don’t really know what’s gotten better but I like how it handles arrays and it has loads of little functions that make life easier.
The handful of us have moved onto Crystal Lang. It’s a statically type checked and compiled dialect of Ruby. Crystal is fun to write code, but the compiler is slower (compared to go-lang/rust)… because… well it’s a ruby dialect (with DSL’s)… and the 3rd party libraries are limited.
People still use ruby?
Besides Crystal, a lot of people went to Elixir and Phoenix as well

I just started a new php gig
I fucking love PHP. I know I probably sound crazy to most developers, but PHP 8+ is freaking dope.
Yeah I was also pleasantly surprised having only heard about it before. Lots of good stuff
I haven’t used or read about PHP after college, and I am quite interesred in what are the good stuffs that you like now.
It is cool to see how languages evolve.

This type checking, is it at run time?
Its AOT compiled.
