Why Ruby?

Ruby and Ruby on Rails are celebrated for their simplicity, productivity, and ability to accelerate development. Ruby, with its natural syntax and developer-focused design, enables concise, readable code, while Rails, a web application framework introduced in 2004, revolutionized web development with principles like "convention over configuration" and "don't repeat yourself." Together, they empower startups to rapidly prototype, iterate, and scale, offering features like seamless database migrations, powerful routing, and a vast library of plugins and gems for advanced functionalities. Despite newer frameworks gaining popularity, Rails remains a stable and reliable choice, as proven by successful companies like Airbnb, Shopify, and GitHub, thanks to its active community, maturity, and ongoing improvements in scalability.
  • Fast Time To Market

    Ruby and Rails advocate for convention and reusability. Sensible defaults allow developers to make choices that matter.

  • Maturity

    Rails applications like Github are around for a very long time. The ecosystem has outgrown teething troubles more modern languages struggle with.

  • Development Speed

    Ruby often reads like natural language. This speeds up development and improves maintainability.

  • Well Connected

    The ecosystem offers high quality libraries to connect to most services and APIs

  • Ecosystem

    Vibrant community support alongside updated libraries and frameworks (e.g. rails).

  • Testing and Maintainability

    Test Driven Development is supported by the language and its frameworks.

  • Convention over Configuration

    A set of conventions allow developers to focus on the problems they want to solve.

  • Productivity

    Clean syntax, powerful abstractions, and metaprogramming for efficient development.
