Ruby was the first programming language I learned and it was such a great entry point into learning for me.

Now I mainly am using JS in some form (MERN Stack guy), but it did help me learn Python which I use for lots of scraping and even some IoT prog with MicroPython.

All of this just to say, Ruby is a fine language. I don’t know much about PERL though

Ruby is really cool, and it's fun to write, I just find it difficult to follow because when I read Rails code there's so much magic going on and the inheritance structure makes it hard to find things.

I relate to the philosophy of Python "explicit is better than implicit", it's my favourite language.

I've come around to liking JS, I like the ideas of its design despite the quirks.

Never lay your eyes on spring boot then.

/* This works because there's a bean with a specific name and a 
specific dependency that doesn't even share the same namespace. 

I don't know what it does, I think it's dark magic. 
Don't refactor any of this! */
