Wouldn't it be something if the title of this article was: Nigeria suffers national power outage as gov't refuses to negotiate with labor unions on minimum wage

Nice catch. I'll need to do some reading to figure out the best way to actually handle the string safely.

In this small example we lost a lot of the safety, but for a larger library I'm hoping you could still keep most of the safety of Rust and just expose a smaller subsection of "unsafe" code.

This is incredibly exciting. Way to go Rust team!

> In the early part of the Industrial Revolution the rewards of increasing productivity went disproportionately to capital; later on, labour reaped most of the benefits.

This whole article is BS. At what point in history has labour reaped most of the benefits of any industry?

Ruby was a little-known project before Rails came along. Without Rails, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.

Thank you for being the first comment (I've seen) that actually looks at some amount of data. It's hard to read "most Rails people are moving on", "Rails and Ruby don't find the new web model" and "node.js is replacing Ruby" over and over without anyone saying how they're coming to their conclusions.

My thoughts are the same as yours... Ruby and/or Rails aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Just think, Rails powers the site that stores most startups code. It may not be as shiny and new as it was, but there's still a lot of usage.
