What is a Rubyist?
summary
Argues that a rubyist is defined by process-defined identity — doing Ruby work and participating in its history — not by badges or attendance, and urges the community to stop talking trash about other ecosystems. Points to concrete tech: JRuby/JVM work (Charlie Nutter) aiming at real speed gains, static typing experiments, and cross-pollination like bringing bundler → cargo to Rust which successfully simplified dependency management. Says Ruby is decades old and needs pragmatic polyglot borrowing to stay relevant.
