But it's not the best tool for everything. On this episode, I talk to James Edward Gray II and Steve Klabnik. Both James and Steve have made substantial contributions to the Ruby and Rails community, and they now both spend lots of time using other languages. We talk about what makes Rust and Elixir interesting for Ruby developers to learn, what some other interesting languages might be.</p> <h2>Notes</h2> <p>01:48 - Moving Towards Other Programming Languages from Ruby: Why?</p> <p>03:39 - Rust</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/" rel="nofollow">The Rust Programming Language</a></li> <li> <a href="http://elm-lang.org/" rel="nofollow">The Elm Programming Language</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabnik/dp/1593278284" rel="nofollow">The Rust Programming Language (Book) by Steve Klabnik</a> </li> </ul> <p>17:54 - Other Cool Programming Languages for Rubyists </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://scratch.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow">Scratch</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">Logo</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://gamesalad.com/" rel="nofollow">GameSalad</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/features" rel="nofollow">GameMaker Studio 2</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prograph" rel="nofollow">Prograph</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree" rel="nofollow">Abstract Syntax Tree</a> </li> </ul> <p>29:22 - Elixir </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://elixir-lang.org/" rel="nofollow">The Elixir Programming Language</a> </li> <li><a href="https://app.workte.am/timeoff/team" rel="nofollow">Erlang</a></li> <li> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog" rel="nofollow">Prolog</a> </li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching" rel="nofollow">Pattern Matching</a></li> </ul> <h2>Related Episodes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.techdoneright.io/34" rel="nofollow">Programming Languages and Communication With Kerri Miller</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.techdoneright.io/32" rel="nofollow">React Native with Gant Laborde, Ed LaFoy, and Brent Vatne</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.techdoneright.io/24" rel="nofollow">Ruby Tapas and Avoiding Code with Avdi Grimm</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.techdoneright.io/17" rel="nofollow">The Elm Programming Language With Corey Haines</a></li> </ul><p>Special Guests: James Edward Gray II and Steve Klabnik.</p>
