What a ridiculously negative comment. Obviously ragebait, but I'll bite anyways.

Did you forget that until five minutes ago humans used to read the code? And they needed to understand it? Yes, there was an actual desire for great Ruby-like syntax without the implications of using it, like its performance characteristics and the need for an interpreter.

Yes, it didn't go mainstream. Should we all abandon every project we've ever worked on because they're not "relevant"?
