As someone that is slowly being dragged into agents, and AI powered tooling, I am start to see language wars even more worthless than they used to be.

Manual memory versus GC, JIT, AOT, interpreted, begin/end or curly brackets, unsafe or not, whatever.

We will be slowly moving into some kind specifications for autonomous systems (please not YAML based), up to a point, and language wars will become a moot point, only relevant to the selected few implementing the low level parts of how everything comes together.

My only complaints about Ruby, as someone that never really did much with it, would be a more Smalltalk like dev experience (not sure how RubyMine fares), given its influences, and a proper JIT in the box (which is happening).
