Ruby is Dead

My thoughts after @bbatsov presentation

What's new in Ruby

Poor API's/Legacy code

What about future?

What's new in Ruby

Ruby 2.1

• Rational/Complex Literal
• Def's return value
• Refinements are no longer experimental feature

Ruby 2.2

Ruby 2.3

• Frozen string literals
• safe navigation operator (&.)

Ruby 2.4

• Unify Fixnum and Bignum into Integer
• Support Unicode case mappings

Poor API

Confusing Aliases

collect => map
inject  => reduce
detect  => find
select  => find_all
length  => size
raise   => fail

Net::HTTP

Useless stuff

For loops

Class variables

Broken block comments

Literals like (%Q,  %s, %x)

Much more...

Globals

Future of Ruby

Learn from new kids

We need to Contribute

Maybe some fork?

Thanks!
