alt Hacker NewsSo glad someone already spoke up about this -- I love Wired, and I think that piece is really poor (not because I love Ruby or think it's without fault, but because the argument it makes is essentially "it's not Ruby or Python, which have static typing tools.")

Author has a history of bad-mouthing programming languages, that seems to be his meme: https://www.wired.com/author/sheon-han/
That Wired article might as well have been a GPT summary of the shit people have been saying about Ruby for two decades.
It is beyond stupid to continue to act like "it doesn't scale" is a real argument. Not every application is or will ever be Twitter.
