If you end up not using the new language, that's not a problem. You will learn new techniques with each new programming language and this also helps you to improve your overall programming skills even for other languages. Also, having some background in a similar programming language makes it reasonably easy to get started. Besides that, learning a new programming language is kick-a** fun!</span><br /> <br /> -<a href='./2021-07-04-the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-cover.jpg'><img src='./2021-07-04-the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-cover.jpg' /></a><br /> +<a href='./the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-cover.jpg'><img src='./the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-cover.jpg' /></a><br /> <br /> <span>Superficially, Perl seems to have many similarities to Ruby (but, of course, it is entirely different to Perl when you look closer), which pushed me towards Ruby instead of Python. I have tried Python a couple of times before, and I managed to write good code, but I never felt satisfied with the language. I didn't love the syntax, especially the indentations used; they always confused me. I don't dislike Python, but I don't prefer to program in it if I have a choice, especially when there are more propelling alternatives available. Personally, it's so much more fun to program in Ruby than in Python.</span><br /> <br /> -<a href='./2021-07-04-the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-backside.jpg'><img src='./2021-07-04-the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-backside.jpg' /></a><br /> +<a href='./the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-backside.jpg'><img src='./the-well-grounded-rubyist/book-backside.jpg' /></a><br /> <br /> <span>Yukihiro Matsumoto, the inventor of Ruby, said: "I wanted a scripting language that was more powerful than Perl and more object-oriented than Python" - So I can see where some of the similarities come from. I personally don't believe that Ruby is more powerful than Perl, though, especially when you take CPAN and/or Perl 6 (now known as Raku) into the equation. Well, it all depends on what you mean with "more powerful". But I want to stay pragmatic and use what's already used at my workplace.</span><br /> <br /> |
