Why I Use Ruby for Hobby Linux | Ramble w/Armello Gameplay

EG Labs — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 05:50:44 GMT

In this video I talk about why I picked Ruby as the language I use for Hobby Linux and a bit why I think Ruby is a superior language for quick operational scripting when compared to languages such as Python and NodeJS.

For clarification - I mention Ruby on Rails a few times in the video. Practically all my gripes about Ruby and the community at large come from Rails. I could probably make a video about this topic but it's not very relevant anymore since Ruby (and by extension, Rails) is much less popular than it was.
