@threedaymonk@sonomu.club thanks for writing this! I'd already noticed that Matz was fully on-board with Claude but I hadn't stopped by the Ruby codebase in the past year. That last line hits hard.

@threedaymonk@sonomu.club Matz was very nice when I met him, both in 2001 before Rails was a thing, and again in Barcelona a decade later. But the world is too complicated to make decisions based solely on whether someone is nice. The meeting in 2001 was at the intimate Lightweight Languages conference, organized by Paul Graham before YCombinator existed. Make of that what you will, I don’t think that’s relevant to Ruby or Rails in 2026, either.

@threedaymonk@sonomu.club nice article, I was also thinking what about this maxime. Obviously worthless bla bla... Very sad to see! Also as far as I have seen the other rails core people stay aboard...

@threedaymonk@sonomu.club this. Whatever benefit Ruby had, it’s not worth it.
