I’m incredibly tired of people posting with a (programming) language tag just to hate on that language. Their **words** are always: why said language is wrong and awful and no one should use it, or how the he’ll did this language become so popular when mine is obviously superior; but their motivations are never that sophisticated.

**Their** language thinks about the problem in some particular way, and they’re so familiar with that way of thinking that it has become part of their identity. The target of their hate thinks about the problem some other way, and that is now an affront to them … to their identity … to their sense of self-worth.

I prefer Python to Ruby (and I’m not a Ruby expert, so I could be persuaded). That doesn’t make Ruby bad or Python good! I prefer Rust to C++ (and by the way, I **am** a Python and C++ expert — and **not** a Rust expert!).

Don’t shut out alternatives! I’m not saying you have to love them or even **use** them; but they still exist because something in them has value! If you pretend they don’t, you’re just deceiving yourself. Like being a flat-earther. Figure out what you can learn! Grow! Keep using your favorite if it remains the best fit for your problem. Just use it smarter!

Do you want to quickly learn a new programming language while still having a fairly good knowledge of another, such as Ruby?
After reading the official documentation and the book recommended by the community, I would advise you look at comparison lists of how something can be done in a language that you know and how it is done in another language that you are trying to learn.

Need image dimensions from S3 or a CDN? Don't download the whole file. FastImage reads the header—1-16KB instead of megabytes. 5-199x faster.

Pure Ruby. Zero dependencies. Done.
