      Yes I read and understood it. :-D

      I probably shouldn’t reply since apparently you’re still working on learning how to copy text…

      ruby is bad because python/js good

      Yes indeed, if you actually read his text, Ruby isn’t bad because Python/JS are good. It’s bad because it has failed to add static type checking. Python and JS are simply examples of languages that didn’t fail in the same way.

      matz is good but DHH is bad and so ruby is bad

      That quote says absolutely nothing about Matz or DHH making Ruby bad.

      ruby is bad because it’s old

      No, the text says that Ruby persists despite its badness due to inertia and nostalgia.

      How can you accuse me of not reading it when you’re pasting literal quotes that contradict you? Insane.
