I hope this encourages the remaining Ruby devs to move to languages that aren't quite so awful to work with. Even Python is significantly better at this point, now that uv has mostly solved the tooling disaster.

it has more sane syntax than python and is great for e. g. webscrapping

As someone who dislikes Python, I can't say I agree. So, I will use Python, but I only use it for 3 lines of code snips to test before making codes on other languages.

I mean mainly list manipulation, with explicit filter, map, reduce mathods.

I've also never had a problem with not knowing if I closed enough parentheses in Ruby.
