I dont know if toy examples prove anything about productivity. I never quite understood what makes Ruby more productive. Dynamic types?


I think is that is has a great standard library + with rails a lot of utilities out of the box, other than that some people just like the syntax.

So said that they standard library is huge, where other languages prefer to have slimmer ones and let the community build the utilities.


Principle of least surprise.
