Today at 12:44 PM mbj [12:47 PM] Yeah. As I use a dismissive tone against ruby I could not complain for that. But solnic is more nice than me he does not deserve this. dkubb [12:48 PM] hehe dkubb [12:48 PM] I just listened to it and it bugged me how they responded to it mbj [12:49 PM] I'd just ignore them. dkubb [12:49 PM] yeah dkubb [12:49 PM] still, solnic pretty much only does OSS that benefits others dkubb [12:49 PM] he’s not running a code school and trying to make tons of money off the ruby community dkubb [12:49 PM] I think that’s the root of many people’s fears, in criticizing ruby they feel you are attacking their livelihood (edited) mbj [12:50 PM] Its not showing technical counter arguments. So fuck them. Also its very likely their target audience is disjunct from the people solnic actually can successfully address. dkubb [12:50 PM] I don’t self-identify as a ruby developer anymore mbj [12:51 PM] In no way I do this. mbj [12:51 PM] I'm past that point for 6month. The turn point was visiting that Idris guys. mbj [12:51 PM] I'm just a developer with special skills maintaining legacy (ruby) code bases. dkubb [12:52 PM] It’s ironic that the very people who are riding on the back of @_solnic_’s work are criticizing him mbj [12:53 PM] Yeah, virtus is sorta a missing data transform layer in rails. mbj [12:53 PM] Not that I like virtus, I consider it inappropriate for input valdiation mapping and even domain modelling (that should NOT do coercions). But its a great piece of work that helped lots of people to deliver stuff. mbj [12:53 PM] And solnic knows (actually shares) my concerns. dkubb [12:56 PM] one other common argument people use is “why are you complaining without offering a solution?” .. this bugs me because while it is sometimes possible for one person to identify a problem, it’s often outside of their ability to form an acceptable solution in their own mbj [12:56 PM] Yeah, that argument is dump. dkubb [12:56 PM] it makes me think the people who respond like that are only used to dealing with trivial problems dkubb [12:56 PM] hard problems require discussion mbj [12:57 PM] If a solution "rails" is dump its not the solution to write another rails (why it should not be dump, if its just a rails). It needs to be fundementally different, and for that reason it will not be comparable. mbj [12:57 PM] Its like comparing Atomic with Coal powerplants. dkubb [12:57 PM] the old approach isn’t working so you need a new approach dkubb [12:57 PM] not the old approach retried mbj [12:57 PM] Yeah, and even if you *did* a new approach people will say: Still you did not do your own rails. dkubb [12:58 PM] heh, yeah, especially when that’s kind of the point mbj [12:58 PM] exactly. You can never make those people happy. mbj [12:58 PM] The argument "Do better for your own" is basically saying: I'm out of arguments :wink: mbj [12:59 PM] Not that piotr did not wrote what could be used to assemble a framework (virtus, rom) ... mbj [12:59 PM] he Is *de-facto* working on a stack. dkubb [12:59 PM] he’s doing more than most others mbj [1:00 PM] We should share him the last 100 lines of discussion, so he does not feel alone out there :wink: dkubb [1:00 PM] The comments from ruby5 is yet more positive reinforcement that the ruby community is actually dying. mbj [1:01 PM] This is expected. mbj [1:01 PM] Ruby does not scale for complex apps. mbj [1:01 PM] People grow up with ruby, and the more they grow up the more complex are their apps. dkubb [1:01 PM] you can put it in a public gist and link to it in a public tweet if you want. I have nothing to hide with my comments mbj [1:01 PM] And soon they must move to another platform to fullfill the demands of a more complex app. dkubb [1:01 PM] or I can mbj [1:01 PM] Just do, make sure my swearing is preserved. dkubb [1:01 PM] haha NEW MESSAGES mbj [1:02 PM] (And include that I want my swearing to be preserved :P)
