This was my key takeaway from this article. Writing clear code that is easier to maintain will have good enough performance most of the time. I was particularly impressed with the devirtualization optimizations and will be less likely to shy away from using polymorphism in future due to performance concerns.
I feel like the English like syntax and use of keywords instead of symbols would be very beneficial for people with disabilities.
I guess python is in a similar vein, but ruby doesn’t rely on white space for its blocks, which I think is a real plus.
