ruby is so intensely idiomatic, i can barely wrap my head around some of this code
@inmysocks that's super fair
i'm lucky because i have a bit of hobby ruby experience from a loooooong time ago, so i at least am comfortable with a couple of the things that are strange about it
i would say it's easy if you put some time and attention into it and don't try to dive right into a production codebase, but if you don't have time to properly *learn* a new language I'd definitely say keep it aside atm
@typhlosion yeah, that is why I haven't started contributing to mastodon yet. I have been told that ruby is an easy language, but I was having trouble following it and I don't really have time to pick up a new language right now.
