How I dream of more serious sponsorship in the ruby community.

I think people underestimate how much python shops are suffering right now over the V2 to V3 transition. I recently turned down a gig that was basically just going to be upgrading python services for the next several months.

I've personally preferred much of ruby's tooling and package management to Python's, and I've always hoped that bigger money would come into the community. That said, Ruby has done incredible, not knocking the accomplishments of the community in any way.



What happened to IBM? A few years ago they were all in on supporting Ruby. Next I heard they were betting the company on Swift.


No idea, but nothing really planned out as far as I’m aware.

It’s great to see companies like Github, Stripe and Shopify make major contributions to the community, but having a relationship like Google and Guido have would’ve elevated the community to another level.


Is what IBM thinks really relevant these days?
