This is really cute and heartwarming.

Back in the day, a lot of people including me reported feeling more comfortable in Ruby after one week than all their other languages with years of experience, as if Ruby just fits your mind like a glove naturally.

I'm glad new people are still having that "Ruby moment"

Ruby is still the first tool I reach for if I need to do something quickly and naturally. People are always surprised at how readable the code comes out even compared to python.

    The three stages of ruby:

    1. Someone scoffs at you for writing ruby instead of python / go / javascript / kotlin

    2. Then they read the code

    3. Then they install ruby

    It's an amazing language and remains my go-to for anything that doesn't need protocol stuff.
