I also did my fair share of php and a bit of python in the past few months
ruby is really superior
something like glitch.com for voltrb would really spike adoption i think
the convenience factor goes a long way

I've been out of web dev for a few years now. I keep hoping it will be better when I come back :-)

will be interesting to see if any LLVM languages get popular thanks to webassembly

@LemonAndroid
ruby or python for the ai stuff?
Ryan Stout
@ryanstout
python for the machine learning (pretty much all ML is python now days), ruby for a lot of the rest of the device code
and the iOS app is rubymotion, the android app is react native

@LemonAndroid
i wonder why python is preferred for science / machine learning. maybe because it's more concise because of the identation syntax.
is rubymotion not good for android? i'm bugging them every few weeks to release rubymotion for windows/linux

@ryanstout
I think its more about the ecosystem. numpy is pretty great and everything else is build around it
RM does have Android stuff, but we thought there was a bit too much technical risk there. Though it probably would have been fine. Android support was pretty new when we started

@princejoseph
@ryanstout Why didnt you go with ReactNative for both iOS and android apps ?
LemonAndroid
@LemonAndroid
@princejoseph rm is used because javascript is inferior to ruby regarding code simplicity
