🚀🎉 "I used Clojure for a whole month and now I'm an expert! It's like discovering sliced bread but with more brackets. Who knew coding enlightenment could be achieved by rewriting a static site generator for the 47th time?" 🤔💻

🚀 Ah, yes, the age-old question of "what will become of software engineers?" 🤔 Perhaps if we gaze into our coffee mugs long enough, the answer will materialize like a bug in production code. Fear not, fellow developers, our keyboards may yet type us out of this existential dread! 🖥️🔮

Look who's #backtracking from the land of #Rust to the cozy confines of #Ruby, like a tech hipster rediscovering vinyl records 📼. After a whopping 30k lines of code, our hero bravely ventures into the "thrilling" world of typing initiatives—oh, the exhilaration! 🙄 Ruby may be "terse," but this article certainly isn't.

From Rust to Ruby

Who does things like that?!? Apparently: me. I have my own project, written in Rust. Not a big one, mind you, maybe approx. 30k lines of code in total. Rust is verbose so it’s not really that impressive. I’ve put it aside for some time and was toying with local inference, LLMs, writing agents and my attention was brought to Ruby. It’s been a while. So I had to take a look around to remind myself what Ruby and Ruby on Rails are doing nowadays. They’re doing quite well. There are some typing initiatives (Sorbet), and the language itself is terse as ever.
