I’ve replaced Ruby as the “glue” language on my machine with Crystal, being able to plop out a binary and not worry about the myriad things that can go wrong with needing the entire environment to be perfect, including reinstalling gems for every version etc is such a relief. Bundler is just a frustrating sticky plaster over that.
I’d like to give Zig and Nim a go, but Go and Elixir are probably next on the list, simply because I have unread books for them staring at me.
I stopped buying tech books, started a safari online subscription. Much better. Now I have just one thing staring at me (virtually) from the internet, instead of a dozen things staring at me from the book shelf. It's less intrusive.
