Thanks for sharing. Heard somewhere the following observation. There's a lot of soft written for Ruby but not that much devs wanting to study the language because they are obsessed with JS, Swift, Kotlin etc. So one can disregard hype, study Ruby and become highly valuable dev. What are your thoughts?
