Think before you speak. There is always a legitimate reason for utilities like this

A coworker wrote some programs, and he later passed away due to an illness. We were stuck with only the .exe files. This makes maintaining the programs here in the future impossible. I was able to decompile a program, so I think we’re good.

Despite the fact that I don’t use either one on a daily basis, I can jump into Python a lot more quickly than Ruby. It’s more explicit and there’s far less magic. I still find runtime errors to be a major nuisance, but they don’t tend to be nearly as difficult to trace as in complex Ruby applications.

Which is unfortunate. I don’t use Ruby very often, and when I do it’s like re-learning the language.

As for the speed difference, it’s really a great question. But bear in mind my benchmarking was over six years ago, and probably with Ruby 1.8 or 1.9. Today’s Ruby (at least what I just pulled from docker) suggests there is no longer any difference in speed. I suspect there was indeed something stupid going on in those older versions. Of course, I stand by my claim that we shouldn’t worry about negligible performance gains compared to readability. Especially in Ruby and other slow-ish languages.

At the very least Linter packages should throw big red flags up when people use them. Theres just too much oportunity to mess up whats actually been returned (And I’ve seen a LOT of this sort of bug working on other folks code).

I’m a bit surprised about implicit returns being “faster”. That seems like something terrible has happened in the interpreters implementation, I just cant think of a single sensible reason why it would be so.
