Beyond Ruby @jakobmattsson jakobmattsson.se
Everything is f*ing dynamic
Ruby is not
• How I came to my opinion • Why I
don’t think Ruby is dynamic • What to do about it • When we’ll know we’re there In the next 15 minutes
Static checking is good. Casting is evil.
New perspectives
Combine the best of two worlds!
It failed
Open up a new set of possibilities
Ruby disappoints
list.select { |x| x > 0 } filter (> 0)
list list.filter(function(x) { return x > 0 })
&& || !
EVERYTHING IS AN OBJECT!!!
A dynamic language should be moldable
Syntax unification
Operators on steroids
Call by name
We are not there yet
Safety? Performance?
What can Blub do? @jakobmattsson jakobmattsson.se What can’t Blub do?
