Rails is not written in Ruby

Rails is not written in Ruby.
I’m born and raised in Kraków, a beautiful city in Poland, maybe you’ve heard about it, maybe you’ve even been here. In Poland we speak Polish, which is a really difficult language, it’s actually considered one of the top-10 most difficult languages to learn in the world. In Poland, just like in many other countries, there are regions where dialects are used rather than “the pure” form of the language, and so in my city, we have our own dialect.

Interesting article. I wonder if at some point the ruby community became so dependant of Rails and its magic, that end up losing opportunity of growing into other areas like AI, IoT and mobile.

In fairness to Rails, Ruby may never have seen the kind of adoption it did had Rails not been around…
