I have considered Ruby and I’ve noticed that lots of Elixir devs used to use Ruby or still do. I’ve learned a little bit of Ruby in the past and I like it a lot but I’ve personally never used Ruby for any projects. That being said, I love your idea about using Ruby for rapid prototyping and using Elixir for the real system.
I guess what I’m really trying to do is to just avoid using only one programming paradigm throughout the day. I want to stay fresh on OOP while using Elixir so using Ruby for prototyping and testing out ideas sounds like an excellent idea. Also, I actually like Ruby more than Python but was only going to go with Python because I have previous experience with it and because it’s a bit more popular right now.
Thanks for the ideas. I’m going to take your advice and go the Ruby and Elixir route and use TypeScript mainly on the front-end.
