Fair enough, i honestly just a little tired of justifying why ruby has never excited me (not so much on here but in real life)
I find other languages, that I'm already a lot more familiar with, that have very well documented functionality, offer everything i need.
My main issues have been installation headaches and deprecated calls in other peoples code (without an easy swap in and out of a new function). That's really just the start of it but its enough for me to have lost interest until I see some significant changes to the language, more significant than this change.
You would have the same problem with deprecations in any open source projects that are either not maintained or you can't update for whatever internal reasons. The language has nothing to do with that. As for installation issues, rvm solved that for me long ago.
RVM does help, deprecations...i dont know though. I have found that the language has gone through a lot of changes in a short period of time, which is great, but it hasnt been very convenient for apps that have not been very closely maintained.
