Can’t tell if this is ironic or not, but Rubyists are pretty well known as the friendliest out of all language communities, and have been for over a decade now

From my experience both inside the Ruby community and out, it is pretty much exclusively Rubyists saying that about themselves. Almost every community I've seen considers itself inclusive and friendly.

No, I’m not being ironic. And as an entire, stereotyped group Rubyists sure are nice.

Pretentious doesn’t mean rude or unwelcoming and I don’t want to insinuate that.

We had the rock star solo developer phase.

Thankfully we grew out of it.

I don't think it was growing out of it so much as a lot of them went and chased the new shiny over at NodeJS.

That does explain so much about the node community.

Not all of them were rock stars. Some we ninjas.
