A comment on Ruby Still isn't dead.

I had to write Ruby (with no prior experience) as part of an interview exercise, about 10 years ago. Never encountered it or used it since. Not sure it has a purposeful niche or enough of a differentiation to grow in use.

This is one of dryest jokes I’ve ever seen on HN. Well done.

I am not aware of the joke here. Could someone please explain?

Obviously, not a joke. COBOL and Ruby have a lot in common, as far as I can tell.

It’s definitely a joke, intentional or not. Hell, it’s even funnier if it was unintentional.
