On: Ask HN: Will Ruby Get a Comeback?

[machiaweliczny]

Ruby will not make a comback ever again. Maybe as configuration language.

We (web dev, UI dev, game dev) need simple, fast stuff, something Go like but better. Maybe Swift? (haven't used Swift). Maybe V will deliver in the end.

Swift is really slow for web stuff.

Do you think "we" need something faster than Go for web stuff? Go is already fast enough for most use cases.

Crystal has Ruby similar syntax and Go like speed. Still needs mature a bit more
