Yes, it gives them some sense of belonging to a group as they don't have friends IRL.

It will help you get closer to girls, it might be a positive experience for you.

Sounds like 100% of /g/. Most of those claims are just bullshit whining about arbitrary things and people who use the lang.

It's such an insane level of delusion...

Have you ever used it?
It's one of the most good-looking and intuitive syntaxes of any language.

I don't know how to program

They lack any technical ability to discuss anything as the most they've written in any language is fizz-buzz, so they just use >muh sjw. Just ignore them.

You know they don't know shit when they don't even bring up any reasons, just /pol/ buzzwords like "SJW", " Pajeet" or whatever.

I don't think ruby is any better than python

Ruby is amazing for quickly testing coroutines though.

>>54253705
Not the person you quoted but I entirely disagree that it's intuititve.
It has so much syntactic sugar and allowed syntaxes that it becomes hard to know what's actually going.
For example:
- { key: "value" } or { :key => value }
- The difference between symbols and strings.
- The diference between hashes and array.
- Indentation used for scope.
- Acceptance of either indentation or {} for scope.
- Begin/rescue synoyms of try/catch.
- No strict requirement for () on methods.
- No strict requirement for parameters to be passed to methods in ().
- It's default behavior of returning the last operation's return value in methods.
You can argue some of these things have benefits once known but it's NOT intuitive.

so it has two ways of doing a trycatch block?
>indentation used for scope
don't see anything wrong with that if you're just using it for some scripts
>default behaviour of returning the last operation's return value in methods
because it's a functional language

I had an idea for a game, and after someone talking to be about "prototypes da best" i built a mod for garrys mod in LUA over the course of a week.
(a neat idea i had where you had to obtain money for points, but if you bought weapons the score goes back down, the goal was to balance firepower with winning)
FUCK THAT LINE NOISE AND STATIC
It should have only taken the weekend but i kept getting fucked over by all the little shit lua doesnt do, how the hell can you use that language on a daily basis?
it handles arrays like a retard, and formatting lines enjoys destroying working code.
because Perl6 is more concise
although I do like Ruby if I want something a bit more readable
>>54254200
All things that you learn on day 1 to be quite honest senpai. The only thing I really hate is that you can omit parentheses around parameters in a method call, kinda confusing at times.
>>54254276
>all the little shit lua doesnt do
what
>it handles arrays like a retard
only matrixes and beyond, but it works great with 1D arrays

I think most of the problems people have with lua come from trying to use like [other language] instead of, well, lua

Never too late to start.
Ruby is a great first language and you'll be able to jump into the action quickly.

Groovy.
Because it boasts "everything is an object" but the type casts get all fucked up and you have to guess what variables are specific types. Its lulz

Ruby is one of the best languages in the world, if that's the worst things they could find.

Not when I had to administer a mix of Windows and Linux servers which were not totally under my control and I had not permission to install anything because my boss didn't want me to look too smart
I had to juggle daily bash scripts, bat scripts, vbs scripts, applescripts, backup task, updates for Windows and Macs, while being constantly interrupted by any random request to perform menial helpdesk monkey tasks (hey anon, burn me a cd, the printer is out of ink, how can I sort this table in excel, etc)

What does your gender have to do with your language preferences?
>>54254200
>- { key: "value" } or { :key => value }
New syntax v's old syntax. Languages evolve.
If you'd said "The new hash syntax is inconsistent and you have to fall back to the old syntax when using strings for keys" then you might have had a point.
>- The difference between symbols and strings.
Well let's why not complain about the difference between integers & strings too, while we're at it?
If you'd said "The fact that Hash & Array *still* treat symbols & strings as different keys despite the fact that Hashie has been around for years" you might have had a point.
>- The diference between hashes and array.
I'm sorry, are you for fucking real?
>- Indentation used for scope.
Wrong.
>- Acceptance of either indentation or {} for scope.
Also wrong and you don't know what a block is.
>- Begin/rescue synoyms of try/catch.
I'm not even sure how anyone can give a single fuck over this.
>- No strict requirement for () on methods.
>- No strict requirement for parameters to be passed to methods in ().
These are the only two valid criticisms in your entire post: it can be confusing (and can also be ambiguous, which is why Rubocop will shout at you about it sometimes)
>- It's default behavior of returning the last operation's return value in methods.
Which is a fucking feature, and a very very useful one that makes the language terse and concise.
tl;dr: You don't actually know Ruby.
I already use two scripting languages that are better (Lua and Python). Why bother with another one?
