Ruby’s so nice. My favorite keyword is “unless”; it’s so simple but expressive. “Unless this specific thing happens, keep going.”

[LeshkaSaD]

I've spent around 10 years with Ruby, but I'd not able to explain it so concise to anyone. You are awesome job, Jeff. This channel always reminds me about Railscasts, I've learned a lot from it and was able to succeed as Ruby developer because of it.

I used to not understand why rails was taught to us in our bootcamp instead of nodejs but now that I've learned rails it feels so much easier to transition to any frameworks because using rails made you focus on the concept more than the syntax or whatnot

kinda makes me happy to see Ruby in 100 seconds, this programming language is life saver and the app I have prototyped quickly just to show clients, it amaze how good ruby on rails is!

We were trying to guess the next video in the 100 seconds series with my friend. He said C#, I said Ruby. C# video came like a month later, which means my friend won. But surely the Ruby video followed soon enough. Keep up the good content. <3

This is awesome! Have you thought about doing a Beyond video for Rails? I know it's not considered a "hot" framework nowadays but it's definitely still got a lot of use cases.

I love this series. Whether you just want to expand your knowledge, or you are interested in a language and want to learn more about it, it’s just so fun to watch.

[WilliamKellerTheSkeptic]

I have used dozen(s?) of languages professionally, and Ruby is still my favorite. It's usually the first tool I reach for.

[ministerstein]

Thanks for the introduction! :)But: Only the first character of a constant name needs to be capital, not all. So Hello = 1 is a constant.

[junbird]

This is actually the very first programming language I ever dealt with, back when I was a kid making simple games with RPG Maker XP/VX, which used a modified version of Ruby as their scripting language.

[boipr]

Loved it so much. Hope one day you could try an "Elixir in 100 seconds".

[adamblumenfeld]

I can imagine that managing your environment may be a challenge with all of these projects you do with so many different technologies. Have you thought about doing a video explaining your updated development environment, kind of like your vscode video, though, for your machine?

I have been waiting that for ages. Thanks, Jeff. 🙏🏻
This video is such a gem. 🥁🥁🥁💎

[ParthaSarathylink]

Need a video on different software licensing ! Especially what to avoid if building something as side projects 🔥

[simonkraemer]

I learned Ruby and Ruby on Rails at work but it’s actually one of my favorite languages/frameworks so that I enjoy using it for my own projects

[jaz-it]

For a 100 second video, this is incredibly concise coverage. Thank you!!

[hatlesscoati]

I think Ruby syntax is the best blend between Python and something like Java. I use Ruby all the time since I work with Rails and Ruby is one of my favorite languages for how convenient it is to use.

[FloKorp]

Ruby will always have a special place in my developer heart as the first language I learned during my training

[ZacharyCarthair]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for doing Ruby! As others asked, it would be great to see a Rails video someday too ✌🏻

[igustibagusananda]

I didn't realize how intuitive this programming language is...
