JavaScript is a disease! Ruby is the cure!
In a recent Ruby meetup, I called JavaScript a disease! It is true! Especially, when comparing JavaScript code to much better, more elegant, and more readable Ruby code! JavaScript looks like ugly smelly mold by comparison. Once you see it, you can never unsee it! Yahuda Katz mentioned in his keynote speech at RailsConf 2014 that by continuously building more floors for the lower levels of a building in the form of a framework and a community of open-source projects, we enable developers to start development at higher and higher levels than they would have been able to otherwise, thus helping them leapfrog earlier ways of development in ever increasing productivity! In 2024, Frontend Ruby is the next floor level that enables Ruby Software Engineers to start at a higher level of development with much higher productivity and maintainability.
