Programmer, humorist. Host of the Citizen Coder Podcast. I interview developers from all over the world, from beginners trying to break into the industry to senior devs.
Thanks for posting this. I recently started learning Ruby, been at it for about 3 weeks and loving it. I looked at the language before, kinda sorry I didn't try it sooner.
As a first language I'd probably recommend it because it just seems so easy. But then again, it might be better to try something harder like Java. That's what I wound up doing.

Always looking for new developer talent, even those with zero experience, as you never know who's got the potential to become a great developer.
Don’t confuse “easy to learn” with “not hard to use”. If you’re challenging yourself with hard problems the language, so long as it’s suited to the task, is rarely the hard part.
I’m doing some heavy Ruby Async work now and it is far from easy. It’s just nice that Ruby is pleasant to work with vs. battling the C++ compiler and undefined behaviour instead.
