Interview With David Heinemeier Hansson

August 6th, 2010

David Heinemeier Hansson on Ruby:

I’ll write a piece of code and look at it and say, “Geez, that’s beautiful!”  And I would not have that reaction before, just because other program languages just to me don’t have that emotional appeal.  Ruby has just a deep emotional appeal of how beautiful you can write something.  It feels much closer to my thought process.  It feels like I’m expressing exactly what I want to say in code without translating it.

Wonderful interview.
