Ruby, the hidden programming teacher
summary
Claim: Ruby plus Rails teaches core programming and web development faster and with clearer code than many languages. Uses Ruby, Rails and ActiveRecord as the ORM; hiring test includes one algorithm problem and one database problem and after two weeks of Ruby/ActiveRecord interns stop overcomplicating solutions, produce clean names, single‑responsibility methods and sensible schema design. Notes downsides: weak for threads/parallelism, interpreted dynamic typing, and smaller local job markets.
