Cool things to say about Ruby

Ruby
1

Hi,

I’m trying to write about Ruby in my business plan - but what can I
say to impress my investors? These aren’t technical people so
copy/pasting from Wikipedia is a no go.

I’m looking for things said by prominent people or companies -
something like how Ruby is the world’s best programming language or
whatever. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

If you’re investors aren’t technical, why bother discussing programming
languages at all? Tell them a bit about system architecture, your
development processes/culture, team strengths, what’s new and difficult
about the problems you are solving, what distinguishes your approach,
etc.

Ditto that. No need to even mention the programming language you’re
using when talking to investors. Instead, focus on personnel and
process.

Wise words - thanks a lot - I’ll do exactly that.

Have a great day!
