I hope this encourages the remaining Ruby devs to move to languages that aren’t quite so awful to work with. Even Python is significantly better at this point, now that uv has mostly solved the tooling disaster.
As someone who dislikes Python, I can’t say I agree. So, I will use Python, but I only use it for 3 lines of code snips to test before making codes on other languages.
Yeah I know Poetry. The problem is Poetry sucked. I don’t remember exactly how but it left a realllly bad taste in my mouth, and not because of speed. And I don’t recall other solutions thinking to provide aliases for python and pip commands either.

uvhas mostly solved the tooling disaster.it has more sane syntax than python and is great for e. g. webscrapping

I mean mainly list manipulation, with explicit filter, map, reduce mathods.
I’ve also never had a problem with not knowing if I closed enough parentheses in Ruby.
i wonder why nobody thought to do the things that uv does before… (obviously i’m talking about its features here, not rust. it’s crazy good)
They certainly tried (see Poetry, Pyenv, Conda, etc.). But that was mostly done by Python developers in Python, which is frankly the entire problem.
