The future of Ruby
Will Ruby die?
None
None
Programming Languages Rank 0% 0,75% 1,5% 2,25% 3% Ruby Erlang
Haskell Go Rust Elixir Clojure Source: TIOBE
Let’s imagine the future
The future is polyglot
Modern system languages are more developer friendly than C/C++
Maintenance costs for infrastructure will be less and less relevant
Ruby isn’t used anymore for components that require improved performances
Web applications will still use Ruby
Ruby is here to stay
Ruby is desperately trying to catch these new languages’ features,
but this is a mistake
“We can’t make promises” - Matz
We need to find a new sense of purpose for
Ruby
Ruby has to become the first-class solution for a well
defined set of problems
Let’s have a look at the present
Homebrew
None
None
Thanks to a beautiful DSL, Homebrew has become a successful
project with ~4000 formulæ
ORMs
None
Sonic Pi
None
Thanks to its expressiveness, Ruby can build bridges that reach
complex systems
Docker uses raw BASH commands
None
MRuby
None
Let’s talk about humans
Like a natural language, a programming language is dead without
people using it

People learning Ruby & web development Credit: railsgirls.com
Ruby can be an entry point for life changing careers
I hope that the Ruby Community of the future will
be a safe place where everyone can feel welcome
We should improve Ruby ecosystem in order to attract experienced
engineers from other languages
Web
Why not Rails?

Dependencies Memory
On average, we use only a fraction of the features
that a gem provides.
Lotus depends on a few gems. You can be sure
that all the loaded code is useful for your application.
A complete framework
Lotus goes beyond “Flat-MVC” by providing a set of collaborators
for “Full-MVC”.
Future plans
Lotus::Assets • Helpers • Third Party Gems • Preprocessors •
