Thanks so much for your insight!

I'm a self-taught programmer as well. Started with the basics way back when like Atari basic, GWbasic, built into Forth of all things, then C++/C#, PHP, JavaScript, etc., then into frameworks like Node, React, Vite , Laravel, CakePHP and stuff.

I followed the Ruby online tutorial. It seems a lot like Zoho's Deluge, but I heard it isn't as optimized as Rust, so thank you for talking about Rails :) I'm excited to see what I can build!

Also thanks for the warning about outdated Gems.

I get the optimization issue for sure. Crystal is a language that exists but it just hasn’t gained enough popularity; it’s a compiled language that’s very close to Ruby syntax.
