Why Are Ruby Programmers So Full of Themselves? [closed]
- by Pierreten
I've noticed this culture surrounding Ruby where developers truly believe that they are somehow more gifted than developers of other languages, regardless of experience and talent (even when that isn't the case, I've met some extremely junior Ruby developers come up with some pretty basic constructs, and pass them off as some sort of revolutionary idea).
The derision of strongly typed languages seems to be a common theme as well; regardless of its merits.
Is there something particular to the Ruby syntax in general that is to account for this? Is there a socialogical component to it?
